  1. Healthcare Premiums to Rise According to Obama Advisor

    SC_RNDude replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Anyone who writes anything about a political issue probably has some bias. That doesn't necessarily mean they are wrong or not credible. People should look at the studies he cites (links are...

    SC_RNDude replied to cassiemassey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you take the few hundred dollars or more you pay for insurance premiums a month, and if your employer kicks in a few hundred dollars a month that they would for insurance and instead put it into a...

  3. What do you think about nurses and PA's being called "Doctor"?

    SC_RNDude replied to PalmHarborMom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    LOL...you've managed to dig your hole deeper. The AAFP is no authority on the manner. This is no more then a guideline, or more accurately, a recommendation to their members who happen to employ a...

  5. Health Care Law vs Patient Outcomes

    SC_RNDude replied to cassiemassey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are right, we don't have evidence. We don't have any model to choose from as an example that we can replicate and predict the results with certainty. I know you mentioned earlier too your % of...

  6. Health Care Law vs Patient Outcomes

    SC_RNDude replied to cassiemassey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am a nurse, so I am looking at it from a nurse's perspective. I'm also a healthcare consumer, and all my friends and family are as well. Just as much as you, I want a healthcare system that...

  7. Health Care Law vs Patient Outcomes

    SC_RNDude replied to cassiemassey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It is more then a slight revision. Currently, most people get insurance through their employer. You have little choice in what insurance company to use. And when you use healthcare services, the...

  8. Naturopathic assistants

    SC_RNDude replied to MWJamesLDS's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yep, you are way off. These are some of the technical skills a nurse can do, which is only a small part of what a nurse

  9. Obamacare vs. Women's Health

    SC_RNDude replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How about a Dr. teaching how to do self breast exams? Is that a waste of money? What about digital mammograms? No doubt they will find some things that can be cut out, like the cervical cancer...

  10. Obamacare vs. Women's Health

    SC_RNDude posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "President Obama is campaigning hard on his promise to give women access to free oral contraceptives and surgical sterilization, benefits that are guaranteed under ObamaCare. But women should also...

  11. FIRED I didn't even see it coming , Please advise

    SC_RNDude replied to Ms.MayaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You have received some really good words of wisdom here and advice. However, with regards to your resume, I don't understand those who basically say "some experience is better then none". I'm not a...

  12. Health Care Law vs Patient Outcomes

    SC_RNDude replied to cassiemassey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am in favor of a free-market based healthplan because it will lead to better patient outcomes. In a free-market based plan, employers would be getting out of the management of your healthcare. And...

  13. Health Care Law vs Patient Outcomes

    SC_RNDude replied to cassiemassey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are missing the point. You are dismissing the ideas of a free-market healthcare plan based on the experiences you have had in a healthcare system that you call a free-market, but in reality is...

  14. Health Care Law vs Patient Outcomes

    SC_RNDude replied to cassiemassey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You and many others are missing a big point. That is, what we have now IS NOT a free-market healthcare system. A free market system would be where the consumer controls how their healthcare dollars...

  15. Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    SC_RNDude replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    RedHead Nurse, Of course you don't believe him. You probably don't believe Steve Wynn either. You believe Wynn is on purposely passing up a investment opportunity, and taking his time to grant...

  16. Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    SC_RNDude replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I won't pretend to know of all the complexities of the economic conditions during the 42 years this man grew his business. But, at this stage he has more options available to him then he once did and...

  17. Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    SC_RNDude replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The company has done well. And now he believes if Obama is re-elected his tax and healthcare costs will go up. I know of the proposal to cut corporate taxes to 28%. But, at the same time many tax...

  18. Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    SC_RNDude replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't recall him saying his business was it's most successful the past few years. Anyway, that doesn't matter. What is coming up ahead is what matters. His taxes are going to go up, and Obamacare...

  19. Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    SC_RNDude replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are missing the point. It's not that you should feel sorry for them. And no, they aren't going to lose their shirts. What is important is that they are saying they are far less inclined to take on...

  20. Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    SC_RNDude replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    His garage used to serve as his office, and now he employs over 7000 people. So yes, I would say he does know how to and has a track record growing the company, hiring more employees, and generating...

    SC_RNDude replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  22. Medicare fines over hospitals' readmitted patients to begin on Monday Oct 1,2012

    SC_RNDude replied to kcmylorn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If the average fine in $125k over a year, I don't think that will have much impact on staffing. The type of places who are going to be fined will try to do more with what they have and hope for the...

  23. Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    SC_RNDude replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1) I understand where you are coming from. And I don't totally disagree. I may not like it if my physician got into that with me. If he is saying what he is saying because he is generally against a...

  24. Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    SC_RNDude replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The physician is a businessman. If he truly believes that something may put him out of business, there isn't any reason he should have to keep that from his customers. They can ignore his comments,...
