I want to know what nurses think about socialized medicine.

Really? What is your source of this information?

Thank you Janfrn for all the merging of my redundant questions. I'm still trying to figure out how this site works. Sorry.

Insurance cos. raise premiums to offset the costs assoc. with tx chronic dzs. This is common knowledge.

I don't think you'd see your taxes go up anymore then what u pay for insurance premiums now out-of-pocket to private institutions...that may or may not cover u if u became ill. Atleast, from what I understand, u couldn't be "dropped" from coverage and most insurance companies now have a"cap" on what they will pay. Some of those "caps" are easy to reach if you have to have a major surg. or have mulitple treatments. I think this single payer/ universal plan would benefit small business owners more than anyone else. It's a HUGE expense to buy healthcare for your family + employees if that is what u do now.

and you know this? how? her taxes will go up as well as everyone in the middle class. Wait to you see people abuse a system when it's "free". It is unsustainable to have free health care for all with only a few paying for it.
