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

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

    i understand that it's your concern, but the point is that australia obviously is unable to insure everyone, and therefore it's disingenuis to promote their system as the model by which we should...

  2. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    this is an alarming statement, and i'm not going to personally disagree, but every institution in the world dedicated to the study and promotion of democracy, from the international covenant on human...

  3. Hospitals near gettysburg

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

    I knew I missed a couple (Chambersburg/Waynesboro). Aren't those two hospitals part of the same

  4. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    UHC can be compared to police in fire services, but it must be put in perspective. Both security and fire services survive because of a much higher investment of private and personal capital, not...

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

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

    And Australia is working to improve it as well. They are incentivizing people to purchase private health insurance via the Lifetime Health Cover, a Medicare Levey Surcharge, and a private health...

  6. Attacks mount on 'preexisting conditions'

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

    That's quite possible, but I didn't think we were discussing the morality or ethics of abortion (that is a black hole of bandspace), but rather I saw the idea introduced that abortions would decrease...

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

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

    I can say that because Moore has made assertions which have been disproven, because Moore has admitted poor pursuit of due diligence, and because he has been shown to not be a very honest person....

  8. Attacks mount on 'preexisting conditions'

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

    This data is available. Although it is variable, it doesn't speak well for universalized systems like Sweden, the UK, or N. Zealand...and if you believe Cuba's stats, their abortion doctors are some...

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

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

    In fairness, if Osouth is expected to back up a statement about Cuba with documentation, then it would seem some supporting evidence would be forthcoming about the allegation that the US has 'skewn'...

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

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

    You see, it's this kind of conjecture and generalization that misrepresents people's positions. It's not fair or accurate to imply that people who oppose a gov't run UHC system have never had their...

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

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

    Pretty much applies to anyone in this discussion. I'm pretty sure if you read my posts, they say "you are correct" or some similar theme far more often than most people. I understand, though, when the...

  12. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I would love to exchange posts and messages from nurse colleagues currently living in China and Cuba. Especially Cuba...God branded this soul

  13. Attacks mount on 'preexisting conditions'

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

    All of these issues sound challenging and unfortunate, but there is no guarantee that a universalized program will fix them. We have presented ideas. There are specific actions we can take which will...

  14. Military Medics/Civilian Qualifications.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to twistedpupchaser's topic in Government, Military

    I could be mistaken, but I thought that the Mercy was often staffed with a large, maybe even majority of reservists who very likely have a significant exposure to civilian clinical

  15. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The very fact that you can post here, and can post criticisms of America, is a perfect example of how America is nothing like Cuba or China. If you notice, there doesn't seem to be anyone from Cuba or...

  16. Military Medics/Civilian Qualifications.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to twistedpupchaser's topic in Government, Military

    True...but this is usually because the military has limited capacity to provide the advanced clinical exposure that they need. And it seems as though we have programs similar to what twisted is...

  17. Military Medics/Civilian Qualifications.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to twistedpupchaser's topic in Government, Military

    Eh...keep it simple. Have them practice on the population they will be working on. The cost of training them in non-traditional venues doesn't really justify preparing them for the more rare...

  18. I want to be a flight nurse, looking for advice

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to cjthegreat's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    No, it's not too specialized. I personally suggest that you skip out entirely on an ED position, especially since you worked as a paramedic. I was hired as a flight nurse with zero ED experience, and...

  19. Parking Lot Code....

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Christie RN2006's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! I went to paramedic class with a bunch of fellow college-aged coworkers...we were quite poor, and some of us had t-shirts made that said, "Will Do CPR for

  20. union pro or con

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to mark3274's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Thanks. Speculative correlation, but not necessarily causation. Kind of what I was thinking...just wanted to clarify. Would it be fair to say that it's not sufficient to actually promote unions for...

  21. union pro or con

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to mark3274's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Could YOU please summarize the conclusion so I won't be accused of bias? It seems to me that they are acknowledging that they might be able to show correlation, but not

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

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

    Oddly, everything in this was supported by our current secretary of state, and nearly every other "new change" official *clinton recycle* recently appointed by our new president who is expanding the...

  23. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I shared a completely objective post with factual data about the exchange rate in response to someone making an vague comparison of wages. Somehow anecdotal info trumps facts? Don't be surprised if I...

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

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

    Just because they created a document, it doesn't mean that they didn't fabricate it; honesty is hard to come by in a totalitarian

  25. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So in 15 months, the US and Canada has somehow magically achieved complete price parity? Here is one from a Canadian newspaper from only nine months ago. Is that soon enough? Can you produce something...
