I want to know what nurses think about socialized medicine.

How true. That John Stossel is a hack corporate shill is not news. Remember the 20/20 organic food story he did, which resulted in ABC reprimanding him for lying about tests conducted and he was forced to apologize on air? He has about as much credibility as his fellow pornstache club member, Geraldo.

Without personal credibility he has failed as a journalist. :<<

It is no secret where Michael Moore is coming from. John Stossel pretends to be an impartial journalist when he is not.

the organic food story, was only 1 of sev'l i was reading about.
blue, you knew this about him and didn't tell me?????

My impression is that she does not know one single person who would trade UHC for the US system.

But just because she doesn't know some, doesn't mean there aren't some who WOULD trade UHC for the US system. And some who come to the US for care because they are not satisfied with their system.

In my health care econ class last night we have a student from Poland who says their health care system is terrible, they are overtaxed and the system is run by the government. She gave examples of her own mom and the mess of her experience with an illness and not being able to be seen for 5 months.

There ARE people in countries with UHC who do not like it.

Do you REALLY think you can compare Poland (or Lithuania, or whatever other poor disadvantaged country you can think of with government-run healthcare) with Canada or Australia?

taking more of my hard earned money out of my paycheck so other people can enjoy the "right" of having insurance is not the way!

Except that a payroll tax based system will REPLACE insurance premiums/copays and will lower net costs to individuals..........
