As a previous member stated; I should start by posting my views first. My concerns are that Obamacare will over time make things worse. Some providers feel it will create more obstacles to giving clients care, ordering labs, xrays, mri's, etc. Therapists are concerned over the reduction and stress placed upon productivity minutes, this allows only a certain amount of alloted minutes per patient based upon diagnosis, etc as to when they have meet or exceeded their alloted coverage for therapy. How does one place a 'general' whats good for one must be good for all rule with healthcare? Shouldn't patients and their cases be treated individually? So how is Obamacare actually going to 'fix' anything? What can we do to help make health care better?

Rose you are attempting to engage me into a childish argument about my original post. You insinuated and assumed that I was someone looking for homework help. I may be new to nursing but one theory that was implemented into us is to not assume, which was the very first thing you did. Please do not post or comment on my discussion topics any longer unless you have something contributory to give. I am open to debates but not attacks/assumptions that I am someone out here looking for homework help just because I raise a question about others views on Obamacare. I am new to the board and again thanks for going out of your way to make new members feel welcome; I am confident not everyone out here is so quick to assume and come across in such a way that discourages new members from askign questions or posting concerns for fear of being judged.

Thanks for the time you spent in answering a rather deep question/concern. As a new member to the board great way to make new grads and new nurses feel welcome Rose Queen!

As a fairly recent grad RN I was curious how many of you out there feel that Obamacare will affect the future of healthcare and what do you think we need to do now in order to achieve a positie outcome? I have heard all good and bad about it but for any of those who have been in nursing longer than me, any insight would be appreciated.
