  1. Wasted premium dollars.....1.4 million a day on lobbying

    wowza replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While when you hear 1.4 million dollars per day it sound like a lot, let's keep this in perspective. 1.4 million per day added up over the course of the year does not even account for a tenth of a...

  2. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    wowza replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you want to split hairs, historically it was only medicine alone in health care until others felt they wanted a bigger piece of the pie and started pushing for the allowance to expand their...

  3. Half of foreclosures attributable to health care costs

    wowza replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you actually read any of the articles you post or do you just submit the abstract after a quick glance? Because you keep submitting articles that are terribly done when you read the whole article....

  4. What is considered the most serious,risky surgery?

    wowza replied to beachbutterfly's topic in General Nursing

    it must be compared to other elective procedures. Bypass is actually pretty safe. The bariatric surgery team at my hospital has never had a perioprative

  5. What is considered the most serious,risky surgery?

    wowza replied to beachbutterfly's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to get off topic but this needed to be addressed. You probably heard this with regards to chronic back pain. Do not let a chiropractor EVER mess with anyone who has any acute problem with their...

  6. NPs doing median nerve blocks??

    wowza replied to JaimeeG's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Out of curiosity, what is the chiropractor doing that he needs an OR room or for that matter a median nerve block? Can Chiropractors do

  7. Obama's health plan takes shape

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Here's a random question: Instead of trying to jam everyone into the current healthcare system, why not create an alternate system like the VA system at least temporarily? Have hospitals specifically...

  8. Obama's health plan takes shape

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    call me arrogant all you want but it doesnt change the facts. redistribution of wealth, by definition, (let me highlight that again by definition) is when money or goods are taken from one group and...

  9. Obama's health plan takes shape

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wrong. The consequence of the redistribution is that they get free health care (or rather health care off the backs of others). That in itself has monetary benefit. Look you're not going to win this...

  10. Obama's health plan takes shape

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A redistribution of wealth does not mean there will be no one in poverty. It means that money or property is taken from one group and used by another. Pretty sure this fits the exact definition of...

  11. Obama's health plan takes shape

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    let's take a look at the article because some of the points are valid. here are the 6 points it makes. number 1: less access to timely health care, especially by trained specialists this is valid and...

  12. Obama's health plan takes shape

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That is a Straw man argument. What I am actually saying is that it is that the whole issue of "universal health care" is not a cut and dry moral issue. Having one group pay for another's bad decision...

  13. I want to know what nurses think about socialized medicine.

    wowza replied to ratchet41's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Anything that doesn't conform to the standards of the constitution is immediately null and void. Period. No discussion. The constitution isthe end all be all as the law and this country are...

  14. I want to know what nurses think about socialized medicine.

    wowza replied to ratchet41's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Intellectually lazy. ad hominem.

  15. Indications for diagnostic testing

    wowza replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was under the impression the CT was the test of choice and the current standard of care unless a helical CT is

  16. Private insurance, most efficient , cost effective funding of Healthcare ?

    wowza replied to nicurn001's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You didnt read the actual study, did you? You just took what the magazine said the study found without actually analyzing the data yourself. First the magazine that wrote that article is terribly...

  17. Obama's health plan takes shape

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Of course compassion goes a long way but I think the one thing you are leaving out is personal responsibility. That 14 year old made a choice to have sex at that age. That drug addict made a choice...

  18. Obama's health plan takes shape

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    These are the same links people have posted before. Look I am not arguing with you that there have been people who have interviewed other presidents (both Bushes, Clinton etc), done interviews in the...

  19. Obama's health plan takes shape

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are right my mind has been made up already because I think they have already started down the slippery slope. Whether or not we actually descend down the slope is irrelevant because of the...

  20. I want to know what nurses think about socialized medicine.

    wowza replied to ratchet41's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You keep dismissing the fact that he was a small gov't proponent. If you really think he would support this system, find me some proof in his writing. I think you are trying to use Jefferson's...

  21. I want to know what nurses think about socialized medicine.

    wowza replied to ratchet41's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It is a bit of a leap. He supported a hospital for those sailors who were turned away by local physicians. Hardly the same kind of bureaucratic, wide sweeping, gov't controlled program we are talking...

  22. I want to know what nurses think about socialized medicine.

    wowza replied to ratchet41's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Considering most of our founding fathers were vehemently opposed to a national bank, I do not think our founding fathers would be on board with a gov't run or gov't sanctioned health

  23. I want to know what nurses think about socialized medicine.

    wowza replied to ratchet41's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    People seem to throw this idea around without any support. I see gaping holes in the argument for health care as a basic human right. How would you argue that it is a basic human right? I would argue...

  24. Private insurance, most efficient , cost effective funding of Healthcare ?

    wowza replied to nicurn001's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think many of the insurance companies don't want the competition mainly because the gov't can just change the rules as it sees fit. The gov't can just stop paying hospitals for indigent care (part...
