8. It's a nonstarter and wrong.

Of course I'm against this but it's worded strangely. The cap would be against the staffing agency, not the nurses themselves, in other words the company employing them that sends them out to the hospitals. What there should be is a cap against the administrative costs and how much the staffing company can take versus what they charge the hospitals. Just as with home care agencies, the cost of what you pay to have somebody come in to check on you or bathe you, is not the wage the person is actually getting.
