Hospitals pushed to the breaking point

Hospitals are keeping patients longer than they need to, as healthcare worker shortages are making it hard to get some patients into long-term care facilities. Now, hospitals are looking to Congress for help paying for patients they can’t discharge. Meanwhile – emergency rooms have been overflowing in some parts of the country, and a lack of beds has left some to die in ER waiting rooms. Plus, an update on action on Capitol Hill Wednesday, including a historic #MeToo Bill being passed and the Respect for Marriage Act passing a key test vote. And, the direction of the Ukraine war as it enters its 267th day. Guests: Axios' Arielle Dreher and Neil Hauer, an independent journalist.
