    MN BigJ replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Statistics can be swayed, remember, 4 out of 5 dentists choose Crest yet 4 out 5 also choose Colgate. There are no countries with populations as high as the US that cover as big of an area that have...

  2. The future of Obamacare

    MN BigJ replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Perhaps those of you drinking the Socialism Obama Kool Aid are the ones brainwashed. Life isn't black and white, sometimes you have to use logic and facts and make the best decision. Everytime...

  5. Racism in Healthcare ---

    MN BigJ replied to ShaniquaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think if a person is to be making claims accusing someone of something they should have cold hard facts and actual cases. The OP's post is full of nonfactual statements and crazy accusations, I...

    MN BigJ replied to dirtdiver's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Um, Pt Care Asst, Even the White House Budget office says this plan will not be cost effective. The current plan in the House will only cover about 17 million additional people leaving an additional...

    MN BigJ replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    Yes 17 million. The bill currently being worked on in the House will cover an addtional 17 million people. Even though the US Census estimates between 30 and 35 million Americans without insurance and...

  8. How Will This Impact the Nursing Profession

    MN BigJ replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    First, overall the VA system is a joke and so is Medicare. Just talk to some vets and see what they have to say, especially the ones just coming back from duty that need services. Sure there are some...

  10. The real show was outdoors - what the White House Forum on Healthcare left out

    MN BigJ replied to NurseJanIAm's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And exactly what is wrong with making a profit?? If your goods or services are superior to others and people are willing to pay why is it so evil to make money? Now if you are taking money and not...

  11. The real show was outdoors - what the White House Forum on Healthcare left out

    MN BigJ replied to NurseJanIAm's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That sounds fine and dandy, but it still isn't going to get people to start taking care of themselves. I say we need regulations on the people receiving the paid for healthcare. I say if you want the...

  12. The real show was outdoors - what the White House Forum on Healthcare left out

    MN BigJ replied to NurseJanIAm's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As I have said many times, health care is an issue and a big one at that. I just don't think that getting the government more involved in everyone's health care is the answer. The problem will...

  13. The real show was outdoors - what the White House Forum on Healthcare left out

    MN BigJ replied to NurseJanIAm's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    By the way, why is it that people keep saying how horrible insurance companies are and that they shouldn't be involved in our lives so much, yet are pushing for more government control in our lives....

  14. The real show was outdoors - what the White House Forum on Healthcare left out

    MN BigJ replied to NurseJanIAm's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My whole point is: why should the government pay for it?? or better yet, Why should the government stop at healthcare? I deserve it all, and for it all to be paid for with someone elses tax

  15. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    MN BigJ replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That is true, medicare reimbursments are not that great, especially when you consider the regulations they place on hospitals without placing regulations on the people it is paying

  16. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    MN BigJ replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    These CEO's do make crazy salaries, but really can we trust the government to run the healthcare system? they can't run what they have now. Plus, a government that is large enough to give you...

  17. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    MN BigJ replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It seems foolish to say that for sure the right way to "fix the system" is socialized medicine, yet it is also foolish to say that we don't need any kind of help for people, especially in this...

  19. "medical clearance" for jail....how to handle?

    MN BigJ replied to JKL33's topic in Emergency

    It's all a CYOA deal. The jail doesn't want someone to die in jail from some freak thing and then have family sue. The ER doesn't want someone to necessarily go through without a proper exam. The...

  20. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    MN BigJ replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The VA system is not that great. Just talk to a few recent Vets that had to wait months for help with acute issues while the 60 y/o vet was able to get right in for his Viagra or other chronic issues....

  21. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    MN BigJ replied to Valerie Salva's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm just curious what this has to do with UHC and how exactly it was the hospital's fault?? Crappy situation, yes. Sounds more like an insurance issue with auto and medical insurances. This isn't...

  22. union pro or con

    MN BigJ replied to mark3274's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Unions have some benifits, however I too would like to see pay and raises based on performance and not on seniority. I agree with an earlier post that unions breed mediocracy (sp). Things that make a...

    MN BigJ replied to Valerie Salva's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are right, there are times when millions is a proper settlement, however there are times when it is not. Atleast we all agree that frivolous law suits should be

  24. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    MN BigJ replied to Valerie Salva's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Exactly, another thing that drives up costs is law suits. And not just the law suits themselves but the threat of a law suit. Insurance costs a small fortune and settling suits for crazy amounts is...

    MN BigJ replied to Valerie Salva's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are right Medicare is nothing more than UHC for old people. I have some serious problems with the Medicare system as well but I do have a soft spot for old people and children. You see, the...
