  2. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Here are the flaws in these assumptions. 1. Taking guns away is a fundamental violation of our Constitution. 2. A gun-control program respectful of the Constitution will not necessarily bring down the...

  3. Relocating and Travel Nursing Quest.

    DarrenWright replied to astnm's topic in Travel

    I am surprised. There are a lot of jobs in Atlanta. I was hired over the phone, and have been at my job for almost two years. It's a nice enough place to work. This hospital would likely be very...

  4. Moving To Georgia. Apartment Question.

    DarrenWright replied to astnm's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I live in Atlanta. There are lot's of apartments, and more being built. With the recent subprime issue, unfortunately, the migration of people from homes to apartments has driven up rent a bit; my...

  5. The other health care issue: Getting costs down

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's only instructive if you tell the whole story; in the US, the patient reserves the right to sue the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and hospital into oblivion, while Germany first persues criminal...

  7. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    DarrenWright replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You rather constructed your post in a manner that makes it appear that I made the above quote...which I didn't. I'm not criticizing you, I just think it's important to point

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    These same fundraisers are occurring in socialized countries like

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are confusing a tax surplus (which is the unethical hoarding of taxpayer money), with the national debt (which also grew under

  10. Comparing Public And Private Health Insurance For Children

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thank you for this link; it's good to know that people covered by private insurance have fewer health problems than those covered by gov't insurance. Also good to know that gov't insured patients have...

  11. Health Care is a right

    DarrenWright replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1. What question? You asked if I'd care to elaborate, and I did. 2. BlueCross did not deny anyone any rights by any legal definition. I'm being very straight in my comments. I have never said I found...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I want to live in a society that is not influenced by the half-truths, mis-representations, and outright lies of a person who uses these very issues to improperly influence people to react...

  13. Health Care is a right

    DarrenWright replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1. Those folks were not denied any rights by any legislative body. And currently, there is more money allocated per disease capita on HIV/AIDS than there are for other more common diseases that take...

    http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1563758/story.jhtml http://onthefencefilms.com/video/deadmeat/ Just another film. People who feel enthusiastic about this issue are just as obligated to watch...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1. I took a break from this topic while others, including you, continued to post away. Additionally, I have already dropped this subject; your comment is insulting. BTW, engaging in a seque on the...

  16. Health Care is a right

    DarrenWright replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not sure how one kind of health care can be a right, and another can't. It doesn't matter if it's elective, such as cosmetic surgery...it should still be our right to pursue. I think people need to...

  17. Health Care is a right

    DarrenWright replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Mmmm, I think this is something different. Right now there is noone denied the right to healthcare. Free healthcare? Different story. And I don't know that it's either logistically or logically...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As was I, which is why I shared the view of another Canadian

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Fine. But I'd like to point out that I have just as much a right to point out the flaws in another countries system as someone like M. Moore, and if you want to make mention about what it's proper to...

  20. Health Care is a right

    DarrenWright replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Defining health care as a right is pointless, just as engaging in an argument to say it's NOT a right is pointless, especially in relation to the discussions we have here. If you want me to say it's a...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sweet jiminy. I didn't bring public safety into this discussion as successful examples of socialization; would you suggest I'm not allowed to talk about the flaws in such a maneuver? Here is the...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First, these is relatively new funding, most of it implemented since the election of Pres. Bush. Second, it doesn't provide any support for the concept of single payer/socialist healthcare, for...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No no no...I didn't say that. But as it stands now, the absolute highest I could ever pay on my income is 35%...at least federally (although I'm certain the current majority is licking their chops...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is a rather inaccurate representation. I'm assuming that places like the fire and police dept. keep being presented here as a representation of successful socialization. In fact, this is not...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Folks posted around a dozen more times since I took a break from this thread three days ago. Telling me to "give it up now" is rather insulting. A little redirection of your exhortation may be in...
