Hospital shutters longtime workers amid benefits clash
Women at St Catherine Hospital claim benefits were revoked and resignations demanded as they faced extended illness. McKenna, with long term disability and impending insurance loss, describes pressure to resign while hoping to return after chemotherapy.

Steadham promises welcomes for returning workers. Schmidt plans retirement and loss of coverage until Medicare kicks in.
