  1. What would a single payer system look like?

    pmabraham replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Are you stating that one day, there will be no such thing as individual freedom in the United States and providers will be forced to accept specific means of payment whether they want to do so or

  2. ITT Tech?

    pmabraham replied to MA_Davis's topic in School, College Programs

    How many of the 75 question minimum are experimental questions that do not count towards or against passing? What's 75 minus those number of questions? Hmmmm

  4. HIPAA violation

    pmabraham replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    For those offering clarification, thank you. There are certain things they do not teach in enough detail in nursing school. NovaNala, first, I'm sorry your mom has cancer; and I pray she gets well....

  6. What would a single payer system look like?

    pmabraham replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It still doesn't change healthcare access as providers don't have to accept insurance. In so long as America is a free country, providers have the right to state they only accept cash or very...

  7. What would a single payer system look like?

    pmabraham replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The problem with using insurance as a vehicle to increase the size of the federal government, and provide the government with any opportunities is that in America a provider (hospital, doctor,...

  8. What would a single payer system look like?

    pmabraham replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1. It would earn interest. 2. It would promote access to healthcare. 3. It would remove the insurance companies that were so evil before ACA (as if ACA changed anything in that department). 4. It...

  9. What would a single payer system look like?

    pmabraham replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My argument is that insurance never guarantees access as long as providers have a choice to say no to the insurance. If you look at how much money was sunk into the ACA from inception until the...

  10. What would a single payer system look like?

    pmabraham replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Doctor Stops Taking Insurance, Cuts Prices in Half – Political Outcast -- for me, that's what it would look like with insurance companies (including single payer -- i.e. all insurance) out of the...

  11. HIPAA violation

    pmabraham replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    So HIPAA is so black and white that verbal authorization isn't considered? Are there any cases where verbal authorization was

  12. What would a single payer system look like?

    pmabraham replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Since insurance doesn't guarantee access as providers don't have to accept insurance, single payer doesn't increase access. What research has been doing into looking at HSA's as a means of increasing...

  15. HIPAA violation

    pmabraham replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    From what I'm reading, it seems there's no consideration the patient is a direct relative who did give verbal permission; is that correct? Are there any areas where a patient could give verbal...

  17. I'm leaving my high paying CNA job for a lower rate job working as a Therapy aide???

    pmabraham replied to NTechTruth's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    NTechTruth: I appreciate where you are coming from; and, if you no longer like being a CNA, then move onto what you would like to do. That's being smart; and it's not about the money. I caution in...

    pmabraham replied to Ginja85's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, that is the thought process. Sad part in a field that's supposed to be (in part) based on evidenced-based research and best practices, there is NONE when it comes to group projects. Let's look...

  24. Do I really need to be a CNA first?

    pmabraham replied to yakimandu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm sorry you went through that experience; I hope you, your children, and family are ok. At my community college's RN and LPN programs, we are not required to first become CNA's. While I believe...
