The US healthcare system is in crisis. A Supreme Court ruling could make things worse

Health care workers rally at a Manhattan union headquarters to show her support for the Haitian and Syrian communities after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could end the Temporary Protected Status for potentially millions of foreign nationals from countries experiencing conflict and violence. The decision means that over 330,000 Haitians and Syrians could lose their work authorizations and ability to remain in the country.

The effects of the high court ruling that could lead to mass deportations will be felt across hospitals and emergency rooms, which already operate under persistent staffing shortfalls. But it’s the long-term health care sector that will suffer the greatest disruptions, according to experts.
