yes, of course the global derivatives scheme, the utter deregulation of white collar crimes on an international scale that required trillions of dollars worldwide had nothing to do with this. yes capitalism has always had it under control and anyone ...

The only rights we get depend on who is in power and who power represents. All sort of documents and publications come out in every country exclaiming rights that represent nothing other that the political forces at work. Because the framers of the c...

of course, that is except for the military and the two ongoing wars. oh, and prisons.

I am headed to this in November. It is the most important patient advocacy of our times. Healthcare-NOW! is the coalition that has been staging sit - ins at insurance companies around the country. Our position is that profit needs to be taken out of...

i find that the people on this discussion that claim not to understand the dire need for universal health care are incredibly lazy with their research. it requires all of us advocating some form of guaranteed health care to do the grunt work for them...

I dont think the constitution guaranteed women's suffrage, an end to slavery, workplace safety protections, oversight into how safe our food is, an end to child labor, social security, or the ability to vote by men who did not own land, but i dont th...

You have to be kidding me. Have you read a page of US history? The entire reason that we have any standards of living at all is because there were labor struggles that nearly consumed the country - certainly not because the clever people rose to the ...

Yes, K98. At this point would you like me to do your research for you, or would you actually like to look outside of your personal experience and perceptions for information. Either one is fine with me. We can consider it a mutual exploration into US...

"On the issue that has been perhaps the most pronounced flash point in the national debate, 57 percent of all Americans now favor a public insurance option, while 40 percent oppose it." - Washington Post-ABC News poll, October 20, 2009 Once again, K9...

Lack of funding has wrecked public education, K98, which is why public education in the richest communities is among the best in the world, and why people like yourself use the poorest and most underfunded schools to illustrate a generalization.

Where are you from GCTMT? I am north of Denver and helping to plan the civil disobedience action at an insurance company to be announced. This is just the start. It our civil rights movement and RNs should be at the front of the entire cause for univ...

I entire agree onekidney. The last hospital that I worked at was a "not for profit" where the CEO was making over $1.2 million dollars. Just because its called that does not mean that a section of people working there aren't bringing home far far mor...

These are the results of a New England Journal of Medicine Study. Results In 1999, health administration costs totaled at least $294.3 billion in the United States, or $1,059 per capita, as compared with $307 per capita in Canada. After exclusions, ...

In my last job it was about two years before they started inching you into triage. Then you would be part of two nurses for a bit until you were the sole triage RN. There was also a class on triage you took before heading out there.

why pick on this little guy? there are plenty of overweight senators that do not favor public health care that we could throw throw to the curb. i think a few fox news commentators would fit this description as well...

I have to quick things I want to say. First, I want to apologize to K98 to have been so callous about his insurance coverage dropping him. This isn't fair, but it also isn't fair to exepct everyone else to be able to just find new insurance. We all k...

sorry, all this confirms to me is that you have not learned from your mistakes. and please dont equate me with the democratic party. i am a actual socialist, did not vote for obama, and believe that health care should be conducted without profit mar...

really? so would you want nurses and doctors to take care of you or would you like ceos to care for you? because, if pay is a measure of merit, the ceo of my insurance company actually makes more before lunchtime than i do in a year. his skill? denyi...

how have we afforded the trillions for the wars in iraq and afganistan, the $500 billion defence budget, and the trillions we just gave to the finance industry? am i correct in assuming you have been mobilizing and protesting against these dents to y...

i dont quite understand the logic that tells us that our government is not to be trusted with a role in health care, but is utterly trustworthy with the largest nuclear stockpile in the world. i am certainly no fan of many policies of the us governme...

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about working at Lutheran of University of Colorado in Denver. I am heading out for a couple of interviews shortly and wanted to see if there was some general ideas about working in either place. Location is so...

it looks like we will probably be living in broomfield or louisville, somewhere in that area. my wife will be working as a teacher in boulder so we thought to split the difference in commute times. as it is, i am commuting 50 minutes each way here in...

i took the cen at 16 months outside of school. the two years is a recommendation. it a tough test but passable with the right studying. drop me a line if you have any questions.
