  1. Canada's health system is as good or better than the US new research suggests

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Fortunately for us, access to universal healthcare is already guaranteed to all Americans. Noone is restricted by legislation from pursuing all approved available therapies. There may be financial...

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's actually a pretty decent arrangement...retroactive coverage! And if they DON'T get sick, they don't pay a dime. Keep in mind, this is a concoction of the same gov't you want to oversee a...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not sure how this makes sense; how is the US at a disadvantage internationally if another country makes greater progress on some aspect of SCR? Do you think they won't sell it to us? The reality is...

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This overlooks the beauty of COBRA. Most people don't take quit their job until they have a new one in the bag. Then once they quit their job, they have 18-36 months of eligibility, but here's the...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you have to misrepresent a position to spur discussion, then you need to leave the issue to more honest and qualified people. Especially if all you can do to justify the millions you will make is...

  7. Canada's health system is as good or better than the US new research suggests

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is going to be mildly enjoyable to address. First, there is a remarkable failure to seperate primary care from acute care when making these comparisons. Countries with socialized systems tend to...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There are still bone marrow transplant procedures that are considered experimental, i.e. non-myeloablative. The insurance companies don't get to decide this; the FDA does. Unfortunately, the...

    DarrenWright replied to hojimma's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just to add a bit of info; depending on where the DNP program is offered, one could make it an administrative or non-research academic degree as

  10. Question about Something I Read - DNP

    DarrenWright replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Using your example, your timeframe will be fairly accurate. However, you will still not be able to achieve a similar level of income in that amount of time in any other nursing specialty....

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    His auto insurance should've covered him, and you can never design a system that will cover outlyers like this...someone with a high-paying job that didn't have a health benefits package? Someone with...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How does the taxpayer end up paying the bill for the uninsured who are not covered by medicare or medicaid? And what kind of accidents? Likely they had auto insurance, which we've found to be one of...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree. We should feed, cloth, and heal them. We do not, however, need to pay for finger reattachment, abortions, or other items for the care of able-bodied citizens who simply refuse to spend money...

  15. Different Stem Cell Treatments Both Produce Results For Two Similar Spinal Cord Injur

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In the 50's, John Enders grew poliovirus in human embryonic kidney cells. In the 60's, the US was researching use of stem cells for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and leukemia. Matching sibling...

  16. U.S. Health Care System 'Slowly Bankrupting Us,'

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The comparisons are improperly used to come to the wrong conclusion. The single-payer system isn't working in places like Canada, which is why Canada is resorting to relaxing the laws on private...

  17. U.S. Health Care System 'Slowly Bankrupting Us,'

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And this is exactly the kind of policies that singler-payor advocates would oppose. They don't want to forbid personal injury action, ban contingency fees, or require the loser to pay the winners...

  18. We don't need over-priced insurance - we need Guaranteed Healthcare.

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    One solution is acceptance of the fact that has already been presented; we simply cannot take care of every disease that everyone might contract. As far as victims of accidents or illness that are...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Solution; Individual responsibility. Foresight. Planning. Accept the fact that people with more money simply have greater means to take care of themselves, and there is nothing wrong with that....

  20. Why Cuba is exorting Healthcare to the US

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A low infant mortality rate is fantastic. But just because a communist country tells the WHO they have lower infant mortality rates than the US does not necessarily make it the truth. Otherwise, I'd...

    DarrenWright replied to andyangel's topic in General Nursing

    The benefit of the forum is the opportunity for continued discussion when additional information is required. Questions are encouraged. Ethics; there is no doubt an employer that would not be...

  22. Why Cuba is exorting Healthcare to the US

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Misleading. Maybe fewer babies die in Cuba compared to other Latin American countries, but the sickest of the sick babies have a much better chance of survival in the US. And the last thing you can...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Such a "speech" or "paper" doesn't have to cover everything, but it cannot be intellectually dishonest or misleading in it's attempts to persuade, such as Moore's films are. The review was written...

  24. U.S. Health Care System 'Slowly Bankrupting Us,'

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I've presented solutions, unashamedly rejected. If it walks like a duck...well then, it's socialism. A rose by any other name...you get the idea. Clinics and hospitals may remain independent, but they...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    More intellectual dishonesty, since none of the embryos survived, and even countries with more liberal ESCR practices said that deriving an alternative simply to get around a funding restriction is...
