  1. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No you have not dealt with the majority of my arguments. Your argument is sloppy. If your premise is based on libertarian views of negative and positive rights, then you have to get the rest of us...

  2. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What has repeatedly been pointed out to you is that you are a hypocrite. That greatly reduces your credibility. Also, you were the one who claimed that "healthcare as a right" is immoral. Canada...

  3. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No one is saying you can't. But you don't offer any solutions, either. And "privatized healthcare" is not a solution. You need to have an actual model in mind that you can argue for. What do you...

  4. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OP - you just don't get it. You are basing your argument on a belief in Libertarianism. That only works when arguing against other Libertarians. As for fundamental rights only being negative rights...

  5. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm going to go back to your original argument. You just won't respond to any pointed questions or objections. Also, you seem to feel you set the rules. Well, you don't. We don't accept your rules. 1....

  6. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In nursing, social justice goes hand in hand with equity. We must care for everyone. Furthermore, nursing has public health components and a wholistic view which requires considering social,...

  7. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OP's belief is based on taxation being the equivalent of theft. Well, not paying taxes is a crime. People who live in a country tacitly agree to pay taxes as a condition of living there and in...

  8. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Here you go again, trying to be weasely and trying to avoid the implications of your belief. What is discrimination? It is the quality or power of distinguishing. You are arguing healthcare is not...

  9. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The OP is a failed philosopher and a poor debater. He wants to debate if healthcare is a fundamental human right. 1. It is not incumbent on us to prove that it is. The majority of people in...

  10. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Due to EMTALA people cannot be refused care in the ER. However, that is only for emergencies. Providers can otherwise turn people away for lack of insurance if they cannot pay with cash. A patient...

  11. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think you are just a "professional student." At 31 you still aren't really sure what you want. And if you are interested in nursing theory, you sure haven't made an effort to learn about it on...

  12. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Stop trying to dance around. You said healthcare is not a right and you advocate for privatized healthcare like the USA. That means people who can't afford to pay do not get healthcare. You also...

  13. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. You might want to look into Federally Qualified Healthcare Centers (FQHCs). These are available to all and they charge based on a sliding scale fee. Planned...

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As long as someone pays their taxes, they can do whatever they want with their own

  15. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The definition of rights change over time as societies and values change. There was a time when slavery was considered to be ok. Now we view slavery as reprehensible and have outlawed it. Most...

  16. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wrong. How many people in the US get instant treatment in the ER???? By every measure the US has a crappy healthcare system compared to other developed countries. And you assert that the good...

  17. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Debating this is not changing anyone's mind. Nurses must embrace nursing ethics and values in order to provide compassionate and appropriate care. In addition, in order to get through nursing...

  18. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are so ignorant of healthcare systems and how they work. Instead of spending time on pointless arguments, spend your time studying healthcare organizations and economics. In a national health...

  20. Can anybody help me-need program rec

    shibaowner replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    US News and World Reports lists the best schools for PMHNP. Most of them have post master's certificates and many of them are online programs. Johns Hopkins post master's is online. You will have...

  21. Need advice about school

    shibaowner replied to Nheifner's topic in General Students

    Right now, focus on getting all your prereqs done for both PA and RN school. Most prereqs can be done online. Some schools will not accept online lab classes like microbiology, others will, so check...

  22. Nursing School Recommendations

    shibaowner replied to Ewingr1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of people think the ADN then RN bridge is the way to go. This is certainly a good route for many. However, my advice is to go straight for the BSN if you can. 1. Do not be scared of the...

  23. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What is the point of this discussion? Nurses are paid a salary or hourly rate. They must care for the patients assigned to them. Period. I don't give a damn about political views of my patients...

  24. Health Care is Not a Right

    shibaowner replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This has already been discussed ad nauseum. You can send a million bills, but that doesn't mean the recipient can pay

  25. Help! I can't find a job.

    2 weeks is nothing. It may take a few months to find a
