  1. I would be happy to explain it to you. It is a false perspective to suggest that the current situation is a choice between a current "free market" system and between socialized medicine. There IS NO...
  2. A free-market cure for US healthcare system By Rudolph W. Giuliani http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2007/08/03/a_free_market_cure_for_us_healthcare_system/ "I believe...
  3. Most States BON approves all the school they sanction in their own State, of course, but then, generally, most NLN approved schools in other States, as well. If your school is NLN, then check with the...
  4. It's normal to feel overwhelmed ANYWHERE your first year as a new nurse. That is why it used to be the norm that you didn't go into such a difficult specialty without some seasoning first. But, for...
  5. Now, if y'all would all just agree with me, we could call it a thread. . . ~faith,
  6. I agree. Richardson takes the WH in a cakewalk. No Republican can withstand the moderate face of Democratic change. Edwards might have an outside shot, if he can keep his liberal tendencies in check...
  7. It's the same thing. Once the gov't is the only allowed payment source, they have an effective monopoly, regardless whether other parts of the system remain in private hands. And, once Uncle Daddy...
  8. Answer me this question, anybody, because it's at the heart of this debate. Do people who work harder and/or are more successful deserve more than those that don't? Or phrased a few more ways: Should...
  9. What Michael Moore left on the cutting room floor: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-oped0626sickojun26,0,7075775.story?coll=chi-newsopinioncommentary-hed "But for free hospital care,...

    Jean Watson Theory Pros and Cons

    Try the last several pages of THIS thread: https://allnurses.com/forums/f8/can-someone-nurse-without-jean-watson-22435.html I argue that you can not only nurse without Jean Watson, you can be a good...
  11. Anybody that advocates for gov't restricted healthcare MUST explain how supply is to be balanced with the proposed creation of unlimited demand. To do less is to only advocate for half the story. FREE...
  12. Look at the strain of EMTALA on our emergency depts. That's what you get with lifting the consequences of demand; by creating unlimited demand. Only, even THAT isn't unlimited demand because people...
  13. But, I suppose that gov't restricted healthcare advocate posters, who continually posts links for progessive websites, to include the cheapshot graphic, -- I suppose THOSE quotings of venomous,...
  14. Prove to me that moving to a gov't restricted healthcare plan would yield a higher salary. Prove to me that employers would pass those savings along. Show me the statistics from any nation that...

    Gilded Age Redux...

    Then I think Mr. Krugman is an idiot because this wasn't an issue of corporate compensation. He isn't on salary. He owns the fund. I agree with Mr. Hightower's comment that you quoted above. The way...
  16. Like most Americans, I have world class healthcare. I wouldn't want to give it up for a "fair" share in a dismal, gov't restricted system. That's not "fair", for anyone. Besides, my healthcare is...
  17. It's not the growth of uninsured people, it's the extension of an unlimited demand on emergency depts. EMTALA is the model for how gov't restricted healthcare will work. With unlimited demand, you...
  18. How about if we just redistribute George Soros' holdings and apply it to health insurance? After all, how could he object, without being a hypocrite? ~faith,

    Gilded Age Redux...

    Just a point of clarification: it's not a wage, or a salary. He is not being 'paid' by any organization. He is the FOUNDER of the hedge fund. It is a difference between being an employee and being the...
  20. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,190857,00.html Fox Opinion Dynamics Poll 4/07: 8 out of 10 Americans believe it is unfair to grant rights to illegal immigrants while so many others wait to come to...
  21. You can try to porifice that the American public WANTS illegal aliens here, but it's just not true. There is widespread support for closing our borders and rolling up the welcome mat. In fact, the...

    Gilded Age Redux...

    Let's look at James Simons. First, he went to MIT. His father was a shoe store owner, so he earned his place into MIT as opposed to it being a legacy. Next, he took his education in math and created a...
  23. The average American is saavy. Investing in the dogma that MM speaks the truth actually hurts the underlying message for those that are pushing it. Most people, who care even mildly about such things,...
  24. http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110010071 A recent effort, by a popular Gov, to bring universal healthcare to Ill. The vote? 107-0, against the measure. THAT, btw, was a...
