I am currently a MSN student working on a "arguementive" topic. I am interested in finding out if nurses feel that indigent patients or those with limited insurance (medicaid, medicare) are entitled to the same medical care and diagnostic testing as those with substancial insurances. Also, have you noticed that physicians tend to order different treatment and dx testing based upon insurances? This is a topic I feel very strongly about; I believe all patients should be treated equally regardless of insurance. What is your opinion and observations? Thanks so much.
