Is Healthcare Still a Promising Field?

a hospital in nj use to offer new grads 28..now offers 22..i see salaries going down with reform/new grad surplus...at least intill 2020 when baby boomers start retiring

I feel like these discussions happen every 2 days.

Yes, the nursing labor market is not as strong as it was 1 or 2 years ago. But then again, what professional field is? There are people with MBAs doing telemarketing. Lawyers are doing temp jobs. Teachers are getting laid off left and right.

People need to look at this while taking into consideration the state of affairs. Yes our current situation sucks, but healthcare is still a strong field for jobs considering all the other ones.

And this ridiculousness about obama or dems supporting illegals getting care is so juvenile. He said straight up that it won't - what more do you want?

You clearly also have no idea how legislation is written. Yes, the bill does not explicitly say that "illegal aliens won't get coverage" or that they won't have access to the public option (which can be quite easily managed). But that doesn't mean that they are going to get access. The bill doesn't also explicitly exclude bigfoot or mermaids either - doesn't mean that "Democrats want to cover THE HAIRY BIGFOOT AND FISHES" ...these ridiculous interpretations are just red herrings that the right wingnuts are trying to use to kill healthcare reform at all costs.

The congressional research service is an arm of the library of congress and impartial. You should actually know what you're talking about before you comment, because right now, you very much do not.

So many political fanatics get so bent out of shape when you dont agree with their interpretations. Thousands of people, all hearing the same speech, all with the same info available to them and each and every single one has a completely different take on the issue.

You dont seem to really 'get it'. The Office of Congressional Research works DIRECTLY FOR CONGRESS. They aren't some random third party. They work for and report directly to congress members. Their very mandate IS interpretation of law, legal issues resulting from laws, moral/ethical concerns, what services or other laws will be affected by enacting a law, etc.

When that 1000 page bill goes to congress members, the CRS are the people that condense it down into a readable form for them to actually be able to understand.

Perhaps it was also the 'right wingnuts' who were behind the congressional budget office's assessment that health care done the Obama way would do nothing but drag us deeper into debt, right? Oh wait, no it wasn't because thats an impartial office as well.

So: The congressional budget office says it'll drive us trillions deeper into debt, and the congressional research service says illegals will get care, and you doubt that? LOL. These people work directly for congress in an official capacity and issue these very reports directly to members of congress.

I give facts (with links) while you sit and insult with nothing but what you "believe" to be true backing your argument. You should work hard to understand the players and details before you take people at their word.

The dems in the Ways and Means committee had no reason to defeat the Heller Amendment along strict party lines unless they ABSOLUTELY wanted illegals to get care.
