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

    SC_RNDude replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Where is the tantrum? What I see is two businessmen getting the word out about Obamacare will do to their business. I suppose you think the Democrat activist knows more about the business of...

  2. Check Up: Obamacare vs. Romneycare: Any real difference?

    SC_RNDude replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OK, so you give to charity. You didn't address the point I was trying to make. Care to try again? GM would still be in business if the government hadn't bailed them out. They would have filed...

  3. I've decided to go into nursing at 32. Is this a good choice?

    SC_RNDude replied to violetrays's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It's hard to give advice, don't know you or your situation in depth. I can tell you though that 32 is still very young. You still have 35 years more to work. And I can tell you that if you do go...

  4. Check Up: Obamacare vs. Romneycare: Any real difference?

    SC_RNDude replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My post was in response to someone stating that Romney won't do anything unless he can make money at it. When you tally up what he is spending of his own money for his campaign, and the income he...

  5. Check Up: Obamacare vs. Romneycare: Any real difference?

    SC_RNDude replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    When did I say he was living on nothing and on the streets? I simply said he worked for free for three years. This was in response to your statement that a businessman (you didn't even go to...

  6. Check Up: Obamacare vs. Romneycare: Any real difference?

    SC_RNDude replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    He certainly doesn't stand to make nearly as much money being president as he could by doing other things. If fact, he is likely spending more running for president then he will ever earn if he is...

    Obamacare also cuts payments to

  8. Obamacare: are you for it, against it, or unsure?

    SC_RNDude replied to Lucidity's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You may be right. If you would, help me out and give me one of the alternatives it is better then, and

  9. Obamacare: are you for it, against it, or unsure?

    SC_RNDude replied to Lucidity's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes. When a third party is paying, the consumer has less interest in looking for the best value in care, and providers have less incentive to provide the best quality and value possible. If the...

  10. Porter vs Swedish?

    SC_RNDude replied to owleyes's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yes, they like to post more jobs then they really have for some reason.. I recently was on the right end of the equation and was able to confirm what I already knew.. I was offered a job, but the...

  11. Why the Doctor Can't See You

    SC_RNDude replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Isn't that the big benefit of Obamacare is that these services are going to be more accessible and at lower cost for everyone? When something is more accessible and at a lower cost (or free), won't...

  12. Why the Doctor Can't See You

    SC_RNDude replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not sure what your point is. Care to

  13. Why the Doctor Can't See You

    SC_RNDude replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is no massive shortage of people ready to provide primary care??? You are one of the few who believe that. Have anything to back that up? The data I see from AHRQ says that there are about...

  14. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    SC_RNDude replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Despite what the liberal politicians and some of the media tell you, most people want as many people as possible to have access to healthcare throughout their lives, and such access is not magically...

  15. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    SC_RNDude replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    True. I'm not advocating that things stay the same. I want something better they what we have, and definately better then what is coming with the ACA. I want physicians to use their education,...

  16. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    SC_RNDude replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you not agree that if they cut reimbursement rates for x procedure because it is determined that the rates are too high that x procedure will be performed less often? And I'm not talking about...

  17. Porter vs Swedish?

    SC_RNDude replied to owleyes's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I considered transferring to the PCU, so I am somewhat familiar with it. You have 3-4 patients (the matrix calls for 3 when full they are full) and 4-5 at night. It is the closest thing Swedish has...

  18. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    SC_RNDude replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Either we aren't understanding each other, or you are talking in circles. I'll go with the former. Anyway, I don't believe the Romney/Ryan plan is the best we can do, but it is better then the road...

  19. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    SC_RNDude replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But, they can decrease reimbursement rates. Which in turn will lead to providers providing fewer of whatever service they will be reimbursed less for. My mother just went to Medicare. On Friday she...

  20. Obamacare affect on LTC

    SC_RNDude replied to Maremma's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Within Obamacare there is funding provided for education for healthcare professionals. Some of those provisions were already in place before Obamacare. However, people are less likely to want to...

  21. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    SC_RNDude replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yeah, that is why I have even shared alternative ideas for healthcare and insurance reform. And, this is will be worse then what insurance companies do. In contrast to a board made of unelected gov't...

  22. Porter vs Swedish?

    SC_RNDude replied to owleyes's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I worked at Swedish for a little over two years. Leaving for another place was a good move for me. However, I have also heard of much worse places. I think "avoiding it at all costs" is a bit of a...

  23. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    SC_RNDude replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Earlier you have also said that physicians will have to follow EBP to be reimbursed. So, they will have to follow EBP or not be paid, even though EBP isn't what is best for every patient circumstance....

  24. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    SC_RNDude replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Uggghhh....not to pick on you, but I am tired of hearing that the ACA "may not be perfect.....", and that "at least he (Obama) is trying" (which is debateable), or that it is "better then nothing". To...

  25. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    SC_RNDude replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It doesn't matter the stated reason behind cutting reimbursement rates for knee replacements, the net result will be fewer people getting knee replacements. That's what I mean by "indirect"...
