    I'm for Socialized Medicine and elimination of private insurance and HMOs.

    ZASHAGALKA replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The part about the 'dumper' comes in AFTER the government got involved. Who do you think made the laws that brought about the HMOs, in the first place? You aren't holding true to your core beliefs....

    I'm for Socialized Medicine and elimination of private insurance and HMOs.

    ZASHAGALKA replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Let me ask you this, why would nobody be able to 'opt out'? If it's such a good idea, why couldn't it compete for a place at the table? Or rather, if you have to compel participation, aren't you...

    I'm for Socialized Medicine and elimination of private insurance and HMOs.

    ZASHAGALKA replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The sooner we get the government out of health care, the sooner the insurance industry will become, of necessity, more accountable to their customers. 'They' only get away with what they do because...

    I'm for Socialized Medicine and elimination of private insurance and HMOs.

    ZASHAGALKA replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The Federal monster is SO out of control that ANYBODY YOU COULD VOTE into power would be corrupted, in weeks, if not minutes. The power is too intoxicating for even the most honest and...

    I'm for Socialized Medicine and elimination of private insurance and HMOs.

    ZASHAGALKA replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    HSA and actual health insurance against catastrophic loss (as opposed to the prepaid plans that are erroneously deemed 'insurance' today.) You know the free market is the answer. Look at OTC meds as...

    I'm for Socialized Medicine and elimination of private insurance and HMOs.

    ZASHAGALKA replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why is that? Those insurance company execs and flunkies can only get away with what they are doing because the government has protected their market. They are in bed together. Your insurance company...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No. Not like YOU mean it. You mean, since the gov't is beholding to the people, can't the government do ANYTHING, in the name of the people? No. The government was specifically limited to prevent just...

    Socialized Medicine sure is scary.....

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As opposed to socialized medicine where they can look at the actuarial tables, and decide whether any of us gets treatment. The gov't isn't your friend and their decisions won't be made, in your best...

    Socialized Medicine sure is scary.....

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I haven't earned less that 100k (as a non-management, bedside RN) in the last 4 yrs. . . I prefer our system better. I take it back, I fell JUST (less than 1k) short this past year, but I took the...

    My Word... What Can't You Get at Wal-Mart??

    ZASHAGALKA replied to happybunny1970's topic in General Nursing

    So far as those that won't pay anyway will still go to the ED, there are 2 really simple cures for that: 1 - Co-Pay out Medicaid. Those on MY dole shouldn't get a better deal than me and ME? - I have...

    My Word... What Can't You Get at Wal-Mart??

    ZASHAGALKA replied to happybunny1970's topic in General Nursing

    Affordable, convenient healthcare? NO! Only the government can do THAT. Just say no to the free market! (If stuff like this works, how on earth can universal healthcare get through Congress?) First,...

    Hi, I'm Twinmommy+1 and I am on day one no smokes

    ZASHAGALKA replied to twinmommy+2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I quit in March. I've smoked 4 cigarettes since then, the last one being in July. It can be done. Good luck. ~faith,

    Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Fortunately, most people do what I do and scroll right past all those graphics. The point of debate is to insert your own opinion, not Paul Grubman's. ~faith,

    Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And how can they do that, after you run the 'evil' drug companies out of business? Those dang evil drug companies, providing people with miracle cures for evil profit. Shut them down. Shut them all...

    "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    How did I never get around to posting in this thread? Amazing! If the programs and the marketplace made it worth the time, then it wouldn't be a waste of time. PAY me for it, and I'll get it. Until...

    Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The FIRST requirement was 1965. Then, every few years or so, the date moves. I bet you, sometime in the distant future, some student here on allnurses will worriedly ask, "Is it true we will have to...

    Texas Children's in Houston?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't work at TCH, but . . . I have had LOTS of recent experience with their nurses and, to a nurse, it seems that everyone of them say they LOVE working there and many, many of them have been there...

    Cheney would "probably be dead by now" if not for his federally funded health care

    ZASHAGALKA replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think gov't funded schools are a socialist plot. Libertarian Neil Boortz, on the radio, says that sending your child to a gov't indoctrination school is the most frequent form of child abuse that...

    Cheney would "probably be dead by now" if not for his federally funded health care

    ZASHAGALKA replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Maybe, but, it's not. In fact, the Constitution's enumerated powers specifically FORBID such a gov't expenditure. So, you've hit the nail on the head: to do this would require a Constitutional...

    Cheney would "probably be dead by now" if not for his federally funded health care

    ZASHAGALKA replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The framers were justly afraid of gov't, having witnessed firsthand its tyrannical ability and proclivity. They were also afraid of mob rule. THAT is why your right to vote does NOT INCLUDE a right to...

    Cheney would "probably be dead by now" if not for his federally funded health care

    ZASHAGALKA replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And people won't be in denial if it's free? Your issue here is moot to the point, in the main. Nobody is advocating eliminating health insurance. It is saving my pocketbook, at the moment. What is...
