   Statistics can be swayed, remember, 4 out of 5 dentists choose Crest yet 4 out 5 also choose Colgate. There are no countries with populations as high as the US that cover as big of an area that have a successful socialistic system or a univeral paye...

2. The future of Obamacare

   MN BigJ replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism

   Perhaps those of you drinking the Socialism Obama Kool Aid are the ones brainwashed. Life isn't black and white, sometimes you have to use logic and facts and make the best decision. Everytime someone presents another point of view to the people pus...

   Sure the Seniors love Medicare, they go to the doctor or ER or whatever and the only thing they have to complain about is medicare not paying for some medications. However, Medicare is a money loser, it under pays providers in general, and if this di...

   MN BigJ replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism

   So with Obamacare, if you get hurt the government will pay your bills too?? I didn't see that in the bill.

5. Racism in Healthcare ---

   MN BigJ replied to ShaniquaRN's topic in Activism

   I think if a person is to be making claims accusing someone of something they should have cold hard facts and actual cases. The OP's post is full of nonfactual statements and crazy accusations, I think if you are going to make the accusations give s...

   MN BigJ replied to dirtdiver's topic in Activism

   Um, Pt Care Asst, Even the White House Budget office says this plan will not be cost effective. The current plan in the House will only cover about 17 million additional people leaving an additional 17 to 30 million (depending on who's numbers you be...

7. How Will This Impact the Nursing Profession

   MN BigJ replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

   Yes 17 million. The bill currently being worked on in the House will cover an addtional 17 million people. Even though the US Census estimates between 30 and 35 million Americans without insurance and Obama keeps pushing the number as close to 50 mil...

8. How Will This Impact the Nursing Profession

   MN BigJ replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

   First, overall the VA system is a joke and so is Medicare. Just talk to some vets and see what they have to say, especially the ones just coming back from duty that need services. Sure there are some good hospitals in the system but one good hospital...

    MN BigJ replied to NurseJanIAm's topic in Activism

    And exactly what is wrong with making a profit?? If your goods or services are superior to others and people are willing to pay why is it so evil to make money? Now if you are taking money and not actually giving a product or service and pocketing t...

11. The real show was outdoors - what the White House Forum on Healthcare left out

    MN BigJ replied to NurseJanIAm's topic in Activism

    That sounds fine and dandy, but it still isn't going to get people to start taking care of themselves. I say we need regulations on the people receiving the paid for healthcare. I say if you want the government to pay for your health care you have to...

    MN BigJ replied to NurseJanIAm's topic in Activism

    As I have said many times, health care is an issue and a big one at that. I just don't think that getting the government more involved in everyone's health care is the answer. The problem will continue to be that people always have a sense of entitl...

    MN BigJ replied to NurseJanIAm's topic in Activism

    By the way, why is it that people keep saying how horrible insurance companies are and that they shouldn't be involved in our lives so much, yet are pushing for more government control in our lives. As I said earlier, a government that is large enou...

14. The real show was outdoors - what the White House Forum on Healthcare left out

    MN BigJ replied to NurseJanIAm's topic in Activism

    My whole point is: why should the government pay for it?? or better yet, Why should the government stop at healthcare? I deserve it all, and for it all to be paid for with someone elses tax dollars.

    That is true, medicare reimbursments are not that great, especially when you consider the regulations they place on hospitals without placing regulations on the people it is paying for.
