  1. HEY GOP: Attacking Hillary Isn't a Health Plan

    sharona97 replied to lizzyj's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  9. What in the world?

    sharona97 replied to Nurseang74's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I just wanted to clarify why I brought up the Attorney General. I did because this is against the law and if an investigation ensues, they could be severly penalized. There could even be a...

  23. HEY GOP: Attacking Hillary Isn't a Health Plan

    sharona97 replied to lizzyj's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    IMO Hillary is at least a "thinking"panderer! In one of her earlier debates she confronted the issues on the 90"s healthcare program that needed tuning up. I think just because someone is running...
