  1. If you like your health insurance, you can keep it your insurance. Period

    SC_RNDude replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The government telling insurance companies what they have to sell, and telling consumers they have to buy one of those products, is not a free

    I don't believe this, but even if this is to be true, that isn't how it was sold to the American

  3. Obama delays major part of health law: coverage for > 50 workers pushed to 2015

    SC_RNDude replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Read the article. The story is what the union leaders are saying. Forbes being right wing only is a factor in that they are more likely to report it than some other

  4. Do you know how much $$$ your Hospital CEO makes in one year?

    SC_RNDude replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In the U.S., "physical plant people" are the people who take care of a building, such as a office building or hospital. What country are you

  5. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    SC_RNDude replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    He has backed off the $2500 figure, but on the 2012 campaign trail he continued to claim premiums would

    SC_RNDude replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Dr. Paul never said any such

  8. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    SC_RNDude replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't blame Obamacare. I'm just wondering why premiums haven't decreased like he promised, and why people keep believing in his

  9. sequester...huh?

    SC_RNDude replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Like I said earlier, this is a result of the gov't trying to make things "fair" for everyone, and instead making things worse. In this case, the gov't has decided it is only fair that everyone...

  10. sequester...huh?

    SC_RNDude replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    $20 per hour? How do you arrive at that number? Why not $25, or $30? If someone with no skill, no experience, no education, etc. makes $20 and hour, how much should a nurse make? If you owned your own...

  11. Noise level at night

    SC_RNDude replied to NoonsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe so. But when the patient answers thier HCHPS survey, they are likley remembering the louder nurse in a negative way, and at the same time assuming that all the nurses were awake and

  12. sequester...huh?

    SC_RNDude replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think we agree that corporate tax loopholes should be closed. But, where we probably disagree is that at the same time the corporate tax rate should be decreased so that companies don't have an...

  13. sequester...huh?

    SC_RNDude replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can't tackle everything you talked about. IMO you are lacking a basic understanding of economics. A few thoughts about what you did say: There obviously is a way for people to pay for the increased...

  14. sequester...huh?

    SC_RNDude replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Rent prices...you have made my point. Why are rental prices skyrocketing? It's because now lenders have become more stringent giving out loans. This has caused a rise in demand for rental properties....

  15. sequester...huh?

    SC_RNDude replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Banking regulation became non-existant because Democrats insisted that everyone should be able to own a home. That is only fair, after all. Although there was greed to be found in the financial...

  16. NURSING...the to die for career...hmm

    SC_RNDude replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm new to nursing, that doesn't mean I'm green. I've been in the working world for 20+ years. This includes time in a union, time in management, experience as a state gov't employee, and time...

  17. NURSING...the to die for career...hmm

    SC_RNDude replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow. That isn't the answer I was expecting. I'm not sure what to think. As a 40ish, relatively new nurse, it has been a rare time I have run into "dead-wood" in my nursing career. Myabe I can help...

  18. NURSING...the to die for career...hmm

    SC_RNDude replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If they have a reputation of treating nurses bad and poor pt care, they will have to change their ways or be out of business. So, with HCHPS and VPB, unions will become even more obsolete. I'm...

  19. sequester...huh?

    SC_RNDude replied to lkulmann's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh, Obama said they weren't doing their jobs. LOL! Don't be fooled, he has much more authority to do decide where the decreases in spending should happen. And he hasn't specified one spending...

  20. Affordable Health Care for All, Except Smokers

    SC_RNDude posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    More proof Obamacare is more about governement control then it is improving healthcare.

  21. Affordable Health Care for All, Except Smokers

    SC_RNDude replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A few posts back I acknowledged that this isn't a good example of more government control, and my comment was dumb in that sense. However, this is a great example of how Obamacare isn't about...

  22. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    SC_RNDude replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In most places, it is a insurance company who is administering Medicare for the government. When it is said that Medicare is administered more efficient, apples to apples are not being compared. "What...

  23. Affordable Health Care for All, Except Smokers

    SC_RNDude replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't word that quite right. I do believe that the ACA is more about the gov't being in control then it is improving healthcare. This particular provision certainly doesn't do anything to improve...

  24. Obamacare

    SC_RNDude replied to Topher53's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I never said that healthcare doesn't prevent death. You stated: "so what if many studies say the number of deaths due to lack of ability to pay for our ever increasing healthcare/lack of insurance, in...

  25. Obamacare

    SC_RNDude replied to Topher53's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It wasn't a Politifact study. You can find a similar report in Huff Post on the same study if that makes you feel better. Here is a link to the actual paper, which was written by a former Clinton...
