   By the way ghillbert, here is an article from the Medical Journal of Austrialia that discusses health care rationing in Austrialia. Took about 30 seconds to find it. Totally invalidates your argument that there is not rationing in the Austrialian U...

   It is so good to see that at least two people feel so strongly about their position. But both of you have avoided answering the biggest question: How will this be paid for? There is no free ride and the plan you suggest comes with at least a 2,000...

   Our hospital doesn't even try to hide it. They use a chart for staffing that has nothing to do with acuity. They are changing dayshift to 7 patients. Due to the economy we now have medical patients on our surgical floor. So you get an active GI bl...

   So Maisy, if I understand you correctly you think people are entitled to health care in the USA, as in it is a right. And I noticed you added mental health care as well. So where do you stand on Physical Therapy? Home Health Care? Personal Care? De...

   Wow! What are the odds of finding someone that has suffered the same fates? Very small. In your example of health care for the cancer patient I am not sure the patient would have got more treatment. I too have worked in indigent hospitals and we d...

    First, I am not in an HMO, in fact I have traditional health insurance. Second, always quote your source of information to validate it. Third, present the facts in their entirety. Many of the deaths related to mortality in the US would still occur...

    Strange, so if health care is so good in Canada why do so many cross the border to get treatment? And why is the news so loud now about the Canadians wanting change in their health care? Odd, the rosy picture you paint is not what the facts describ...

    Good answer. My only fault with any of this is that the DOCTOR should be held responsible for making a decision on giving or holding a medication. Since when did the RN becom such a decision maker? I don't want that responsibility. I now have abo...

    What you describe is the common everyday experience on my surgical unit. Most of the nurses end up crying by the end of the shift. I end up dehydrated and having cramps all night. Three 12s in a row absolutely kill me. Exhaustion is my constant c...
