   What helped me was little things I remembered from lectures, like Ace inhibitors s/e is a cough. And we did jeopardy often, and the little details from that helped too. When I came home and looked...

   I took the test today, and this is exactly how I thought the questions went: I kept thinking, "What?!" Who cares what the color of the tie is!!! My stopped at 85. And I wonder if mathmatically it is...

   KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   Yes, this discussion is truly going no where. There are two completely different issues getting confused here. The topic is "universal health care" but people keep referring to 'denying care' The...

   KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   Goodness no, I thought we were talking about whether or not to promote universal health care! As far as the "demand" goes, I was speaking in the context of the rape of virgins in Africa, and...

8. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

   KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   I agree that there should be SOME things that are slowly added to a list of care that is basically socialized. There are some deeply divided issues that cannot be resolved, as I mentioned earlier,...

9. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

   KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   Wow. Again, I thought we were discussing the merits of univeral health care. I didn't think we were discussing the option of denying anyone medical care. That doesn't actually exist here in the...

    KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How absurd, of course I don't think these people "don't deserve healthcare". I just don't think that the government should use their police powers to force Peter to pay for Paul's bad choices. You are...

13. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Unfortunately, when we realistically look at the situation, it is drugs, alcohol, unrestrained sexual habits, and cigarette usage that causes 70% of the healthcare problems today. Why should the 30%...

14. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is no such thing as "free". Unless of course, you are a volunteer nurse, drugs cost nothing, and there is no need for research and development. This is the big problem with universal...

    KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare
