   SilentMind replied to SilentMind's topic in Activism

   Your information is incomplete. You can say the other hospitals donate 3x more to the community. But that means absolutely nothing unless you can relate that to the resources each hospital has available.

   So...honestly, your claim is faulty at best. That's like comparing the charitable donations of bill gates and an average working stiff.

6. All I want for Christmas is a single payer plan!

   SilentMind replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Activism

   Easy? Keeping costs down? Reign in malpractice lawsuits. Premiums/coverage/preexisting conditions/etc....Take the government out of it once and for all. Turn insurance over to the free market, not to the government or any chosen corporations. The re...

7. Health Care Reform

   SilentMind replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism

   Pathetic really, the sentiments of this country. Noone actually cares what the effects on this country are. Noone thinks that far ahead. Health care reform is a lot like Obama, really. Noone actually supports him. They're just tired of the opposite. ...

   Not entirely sure. I'm 95% it won't matter. I'm ashamed to admit...i've taken anatomy more then my fair share. No teacher has ever taught from the book. At most, they'll just add a reference to a chart or figure in the book. As long as it covers the ...

9. Ryan White HIV/AIDS Act Extended... eliminates travelers HIV entry ban

   SilentMind replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

   It's the same thing governments did by restricting access to people with H1N1 symptoms. It's just a precautionary measure in the interest of public safety. It doesn't guarantee anything, but it offers some protection, and there's nothing more you can...

11. A tear shed for nationalized medicine.

    SilentMind replied to SilentMind's topic in Activism

    That's kind of the point. There are a dozen threads about individual cases used to prove how horrible the health care system is. I was trying to show how silly that is. This article is tragic, but it's an isolated incident with a sample of one. It's ...

13. Health Care Reform bill jeopardizing the future of nursing?

    SilentMind replied to AVMadd's topic in Activism

    I've never much cared for your opinion. But this is the truth. To the OP, don't feel too guilty about not having the slightest clue what this health care reform is actually about. The majority of the people voting on it don't know anything more about...

14. Health Care Reform

    SilentMind replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism

    I'm pretty sure the public option was already shot down in the senate. Ideally, a public option competing with private companies to keep costs down would be a great benefit to the consumer. That isn't the case. The public option isn't just an insura...
