1. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

   DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism

   Here are the flaws in these assumptions. 1. Taking guns away is a fundamental violation of our Constitution. 2. A gun-control program respectful of the Constitution will not necessarily bring down the cost. As Canada has shown, it resulted in an extr...

2. Relocating and Travel Nursing Quest.

   DarrenWright replied to astnm's topic in Travel

   I am surprised. There are a lot of jobs in Atlanta. I was hired over the phone, and have been at my job for almost two years. It's a nice enough place to work. This hospital would likely be very accomodating to your school schedule, and it's right ac...

3. Moving To Georgia. Apartment Question.

   DarrenWright replied to astnm's topic in Georgia

   I live in Atlanta. There are lot's of apartments, and more being built. With the recent subprime issue, unfortunately, the migration of people from homes to apartments has driven up rent a bit; my last rent increase was 7%. I pay $1028/month (plus ut...

4. The other health care issue: Getting costs down

   DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism

   It's only instructive if you tell the whole story; in the US, the patient reserves the right to sue the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and hospital into oblivion, while Germany first persues criminal charges in medical malpractice and rarely awards punit...

   You rather constructed your post in a manner that makes it appear that I made the above quote...which I didn't. I'm not criticizing you, I just think it's important to point out.

7. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

   These same fundraisers are occurring in socialized countries like Canada.

   DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism

   You are confusing a tax surplus (which is the unethical hoarding of taxpayer money), with the national debt (which also grew under Clinton).

9. Comparing Public And Private Health Insurance For Children

   DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism

   Thank you for this link; it's good to know that people covered by private insurance have fewer health problems than those covered by gov't insurance. Also good to know that gov't insured patients have more trouble accessing the health care system. Si...

10. The Sad State of Healthcare Staffing

    DarrenWright replied to Chellyse's topic in Activism

    A timely and interesting thread; I hope it has some hang time because I'd like to read more even though I have little to offer right now except I do believe that the legal profession adds signficantly to the problems in modern health care.

11. Health Care is a right

    DarrenWright replied to headsup's topic in Activism

    1. What question? You asked if I'd care to elaborate, and I did. 2. BlueCross did not deny anyone any rights by any legal definition. I'm being very straight in my comments. I have never said I found anything disdainful; I'm simply making observation...

12. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism

    I want to live in a society that is not influenced by the half-truths, mis-representations, and outright lies of a person who uses these very issues to improperly influence people to react emotionally, and thereby enrich him.

13. Health Care is a right

    DarrenWright replied to headsup's topic in Activism

    1. Those folks were not denied any rights by any legislative body. And currently, there is more money allocated per disease capita on HIV/AIDS than there are for other more common diseases that take far more lives. Those folks may have been denied fi...

15. Are you willing to pay more taxes to ensure health coverage for all?

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism

    1. I took a break from this topic while others, including you, continued to post away. Additionally, I have already dropped this subject; your comment is insulting. BTW, engaging in a seque on the discussion is what ticked people off, so your comment...
