HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Pennsylvania’s state Senate is fast-tracking legislation to spend $225 million to help hospitals struggling to keep staff on board as the coronavirus packs hospitals with unvaccinated patients. The bill passed Tuesday has backing from Gov. Tom Wolf. The money is from federal pandemic relief. Under the bill, $100 million will be distributed to acute-care hospitals on a per-bed basis. Another $110 million will be distributed to hospitals that serve poorer and rural areas, hospitals with high proportions of Medicaid patients and facilities that provide inpatient behavioral health services. The other $15 million will go to pay off the student loans for nurses.
