  1. Childrens rights to health

    DarrenWright replied to kidznurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Many Americans don't consider much at all about what the UN thinks; they hardly have done anyone any good anywhere else (i.e. Rawanda, E. Europe), so we hardly expect them to be influential in how we...

  2. Are you willing to pay more taxes to ensure health coverage for all?

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So what we must assume that stupid Americans are not capable of understanding international issues unless they agree with you... It's not that complicated, except for the part where I have to guess...

  3. Are you willing to pay more taxes to ensure health coverage for all?

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Mmmmm, I just provided a link. I do know that the 'average' tax rate in Canada is higher. I do know that references seem to be discredited for the purposes of maintaining support for personal...

  4. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Once again, this would be relevant to the comparison of socialized health care only if 38% if the nation's population was also protected by volunteer nurses, physicians, and all other medical staff....

  5. Are you willing to pay more taxes to ensure health coverage for all?

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not confused. I'm not using the CANADIAN provided references incorrectly. What I've read is that a Canadian research and education agency is not credible. Canada has competitive tax rates, even...

  6. Are you willing to pay more taxes to ensure health coverage for all?

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Look, I'm using Canadian references. Here's another, from a Canadian IS company. http://www.walterharder.ca/MarginalTaxRateCalculator.html I went to your province (BC), and typed in my income for last...

  7. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Whether or not you got a bill has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion, or in any way supports the comparison people have made of the Fire Dept. to socialized medicine. Additionally, I've...

  8. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I won't see the film, and here's why. http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/preston200410200837.asp As the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. And those of you who are...

  9. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The paramedic occupation is not a reasonable representation of the fire service, because a much larger percentage of paramedics work in private EMS, or are actually the only paid employees of an...

  10. Are you willing to pay more taxes to ensure health coverage for all?

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Condescension is insulting and unnecessary. http://www.morningstar.ca/globalhome/MarginalTaxCalculator/index.asp I have never made up anything, and I don't even "bet" or

  11. Are you willing to pay more taxes to ensure health coverage for all?

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What is the relevance of any of these questions? http://www.morningstar.ca/globalhome/MarginalTaxCalculator/index.asp Use this calculator (an unbiased third party calculator). What you will find is...

  12. Are you willing to pay more taxes to ensure health coverage for all?

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is a low example which fits very few geographic areas in Canada. According to your own CRA, this employee pays 15.5% in federal alone on the first 37,178, and then 22% on the portion between...

  13. Are you willing to pay more taxes to ensure health coverage for all?

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks for the constructive criticisms; there is no need to be insulting. The national health system in Canada does not cover prescription drugs, and even the subsidized programs require an additional...

  15. Are you willing to pay more taxes to ensure health coverage for all?

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes it is. If you think it isn't, then I'd ask you to explain what they meant when they said: Yes, and it also says this is a "proxy measure of inflow," or an authorative representation of where...

  16. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't cherry-pick data, and noone has shown conflicting data. I never said that. IT IS PART of the consideration, and I've included it! You have to keep it in context, though. You can't just...

  17. Are you willing to pay more taxes to ensure health coverage for all?

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm no authority figure here, but I don't think there's a need to apologize for participating. Another view is appreciated. You are, however, incorrect in your observation. The second paragraph under...

  18. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You see, that's the beauty of science and evidence-based-medicine; it's not supposed to reflect the impressions seeded from our individual experiences, but from the data. And I'm not basing my...

  19. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2006/09/28/qc-nursesjoinagencies.html You most definitely can expect that the number of immigrants to at least reflect the population ratio, but it doesn't....

  20. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Dr. Jose Luis Garcia Sabrido. This is one person who has practiced medicine in Cuba who's name you won't find in Moore's film. That's because with all this supposedly affordable and spectacular health...

  21. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I most definitely can say that Calif nurses have a better wage. What is more important to point out, however, is that while the cost of living will not change because of socialization, there is no...

  22. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But these southern nurses (of which I am one), are not going to Canada. And the population note is very relevant, which is why I made it before. The US population is huge compared to Canada; roughly...

  23. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Singler payer is socialized in that it is socialized financing, and changing to any kind of socialized system will definitely affect any provider who receives these reimbursements. We can get better,...

  24. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    DarrenWright replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    would you be willing to share that with the families of: scott gardner leanna newman and her unborn child jasmine lawrence abram yap roy wade jr ron bishop joshua morrow (age 4) cheryl, ian, and...

  25. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If the perceived problem is 'bloat' and 'inefficiency,' then I don't understand why people are looking to the gov't for the answer. The last thing our current gov't can claim is expertise in...
