  1. Frank Luntz warns GOP: Health reform is popular

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you boil the entire construct of the GOP to the specialized focus of someone who consults on language, then I can see where you'd come to such a conclusion. Makes as much sense as using James...

  2. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sigh. I see your six year old non-scientific poll, wikified article, and the inconclusive meta-analysis, and show you actual research that is four years newer which says, "US respondents...were more...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Three Canadians...well, that answers all, don't it? Using such logic would imply that we need to leave the US system alone because I can find three people here who would say they don't want to trade...

  4. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's not working in Canada and Australia is not a single payer

  5. A "must-read" article...RETROGRESSION UPDATE

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to azil2010's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Isn't this an interesting twist on the sentiment about

  6. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Won't work. Only universal coverage system that will work is an "Everyone-payer" system, especially one that is

  7. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Unfortunately these people don't see any other way to make a socialized system work. They also realize that people will do exactly what happened in Hawaii; they'll bail on their own insurance to sign...

  8. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The 2006 Mass. Health Care Reform Law was a universal system, one that is similar to what Hillary spoke of implementing. It may be a tomato/tomahto issue, but it's not necessarily conservatives who...

  9. WPAHS makes antitrust charges against UPMC and the Blues

    All that said, I thank you for

  10. WPAHS makes antitrust charges against UPMC and the Blues

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to oramar's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I read it. It's a complaint, not a term paper; it's not designed to look favorably upon their competitor, and I think they may have gone over the top with frequent use of the 'conspiracy' word (not to...

  11. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Here we go with the fatally flawed police and fire protection analogies. Of course, this is the first time I saw water added into the mix, but the reality is that nobody gets cheaper water than...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Mass. for starters. On to Hawaii, which plan lasted about 8 months. California, which died before vote because the legislature know just by looking at it that it wasn't affordable. And then there was...

  13. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The Senate Progressive Caucus prefers a single-payer system, but they are aware of Obama's opposition to the idea. They are also aware how it went when Hillary tried to promote the idea the first...

    All of them were out of order...without

  15. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I believe that healthcare is a human right, along with many other rights, but I don't believe that the gov't or any other taxpayer has any obligation to pay for my rights. I also don't believe that...

  16. Obama's Health Care plan. Is it a stepping stone to H.R 676, or a road to nowhere?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't say we were in misery, but then, I'm not the one characterizing the current health-care system. I agree that people at any point of the economic scale are just as deserving as anyone else for...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is a phrase used to describe it...it's called "shared

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to cwazycwissyRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks cwissy...that's the first chance I had to review the proposal...what a mess. Pie in the sky, broken promises about payroll taxes, and no proof that these measures will even

  19. Obama's Health Care plan. Is it a stepping stone to H.R 676, or a road to nowhere?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I kind of feel the same way about the gov't....you know, on the "useful"

  20. Obama's Health Care plan. Is it a stepping stone to H.R 676, or a road to nowhere?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, because of course we all know that this health plan will result in no one being denied care, right? No one will die fighting with a gov't bureaucracy...it will all be lollipops and rose...

  21. Frustration with getting Ga lisence...help!

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to PACU queen's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Sounds like a mixed bag. I waited months for my GA endorsement...I'm a patient sort of fellow. When I followed up to find out the delay, they claimed they didn't have an item which I had submitted. I...

  22. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This altruism will not support changes in a health-care system. The result? Insufficient providers to support a system like Canada...and here is where the altruism takes Canada; their physicians come...

  23. WPAHS makes antitrust charges against UPMC and the Blues

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to oramar's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I've worked for both systems at one time or another. WPAHS needs to realize that it has to compete with quality, not by just suing UPMC every time UPMC expands their market share. In one of the last...

  24. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Matters not. We currently allow physicians to opt out of our gov't payer system, and the only way around it is to make a law that physicians HAVE to see every patient even if they don't want to, and...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    i never made any claims about "rates of medical bankruptcy" relative to other countries. i never said it was a "problem." i said that a socialized system does not eliminate it, and the most dishonest...
