  6. It could be coming another round of medicaid/medicare cuts

    Art_Vandelay replied to drmorton2b's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "obamacare" is a derogatory term. you ask if there "always has to be some personal fight?"; when the thread starts out labeling something or someone, it immediately make others defensive. upon...

  11. Discussions always so hostile here?

    Art_Vandelay replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    Art_Vandelay replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    xtxrn, If you prefer harmony, I would advise you to stay away from threads that involve issues like Medicare that are controversial. Just for the record, I can't speak for other posters, but I was...

    xtxrn, Welcome to Politics 101. Oh, and it's not fighting, it's political discourse.

  14. RN BSN in pa

    Art_Vandelay replied to ChristiRN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Art_Vandelay replied to drmorton2b's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The problem is this: unfortunately, Medicare cuts as being used as a bargaining tool in order for Republicans to agree to allow tax breaks for the wealthy to expire. (Our economy is crap, but tax cuts...

  18. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    Art_Vandelay replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Art_Vandelay replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very sorry for your loss, too. As far as giving it in the future, I don't know how you could not give it without legal/employer repurcussions. What would you say? "No, I can't follow doctor's...
