  1. Are we experiencing mass burnout in healthcare?

    GCTMT replied to SheaTab's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What if nurses and doctors called the shots? By that I mean, what if they ran hospitals, clinics, etc.. democratically? What if they voted on ratios, proper equipment, allocation of money..

  4. What's wrong with this picture?

    GCTMT replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I knew you were going to ask something like this. This bill doesn't put the American people first, I've never said otherwise, but there are some good things in it. Ultimately, we are forced to ask...

  5. What's wrong with this picture?

    GCTMT replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think what's even more disturbing, is that some of these politicians didn't even know where the information came from, it was given to them by their aids and they found out about it after the

    GCTMT posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Lately, there has been a lot of discussion regarding abortion in the health care debate. Groups for women are opposed to the Stupak Ammendment and Catholics are flexing their political muscle...

  7. Where do most of the uninsured live?

    GCTMT replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think America is a great country, but there are definitely some things that need improvement and issues that needed to be adressed. I believe, that might have been what Tewdles meant, of course,...

    I will take this opportunity to apologize to you Adlockwood for my part in the ugliness on this

  9. Health coverage 'plan' was no insurance at all

    GCTMT replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree Herring, we spend almost as much on defense as the rest of the world combined. Certainly, we can make cuts and still defend ourselves. Priorities...

  10. "We need to spend more on prevention" debated

    GCTMT replied to adlockwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You can actually ignore me if you want Silent Mind. Ad hominem and direct insults only serve to show your lack of a solid argument, and it also shows how much you have to

  11. Where do most of the uninsured live?

    GCTMT replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    GCTMT replied to adlockwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Cows are ruminants, they're not supposed to eat corn, they are supposed to eat grass. When cows eat corn their stomachs become increasingly acidic and as a result they produce acid loving E. Coli...

    GCTMT replied to adlockwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I couldn't agree more. My state has a very high rate of smokers. And I read recently that smoking nationwide has seen an increase. I do believe that personal responsibility has a hand to play here,...

  15. "We need to spend more on prevention" debated

    GCTMT replied to adlockwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Fast food sales are going up, not down. To deny that we are consuming more and more because of price is ridiculous. And all that garbage we eat from the grocery stores mostly masquerades as food....

  16. Democrats want everyone else to pay for the health care

    GCTMT replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Paying extra doesn't mean you will get better care. Mayo Clinic, a not-for-profit, is ranked No. 2 in the nation and they have made significant steps in curbing costs. It's followed by Johns Hopkins...

  17. "We need to spend more on prevention" debated

    GCTMT replied to adlockwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think if people had more access to make healthy decisions, they would make them. Cost is a big factor here, consider the fact that eating a meal at McDonalds is far cheaper than going to the market...

  18. Democrats want everyone else to pay for the health care

    GCTMT replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It pays costs for those HCP's and hospitals that run efficiently. Again, if hospitals and HCP's were to trim the fat, Medicare payments would be sufficient. A relatively easy fix with a...

    GCTMT replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  23. House passes landmark health care bill

    GCTMT replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is my country, I'm not leaving. There's no misfortune for Medicare recipients, it's just about the best insurance system in the US, at least that's what the users of Medicare reiterate time...

  24. House passes landmark health care bill

    GCTMT replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  25. Health Care Reform
