White House Letter

[Ichliebstdu]

I have been in the healthcare industry for 14 years. We have gone from working TOGETHER to AGAINST each other for the revenue. We have gone from serving patient positive outcomes to serving for patient satisfaction score with bad patient outcomes.

What is going on?? When as a nurse can I say NO you may not have the sausage sandwich you just had a heart attack? When can I say NO you may not have a 50 pill narcotic prescription for your sprain thumb for the past 5 visits? We wonder why healthcare has gone up? This is why.

Free standing ER being built in every corner for revenue dollars. I am ready to take a stand I have written multiple letters to the White House because we need to have a voice for better patient outcomes and for our sanity!!!!!!!!

Trump and Clinton are favorites to win, sanity left us long ago

So ... what steps do you suggest as a solution?

People need to stop voting republicans and democrats into office. They will continue but need to stop. I would do this:

IMHO when we keep focusing on creating a system that works for everyone we get a system that works terribly for everyone.

I do not know why the Federal Government is in the business of healthcare.

Why can't California create a system good for California and Arizona create a system good for Arizona? Healthcare funds should be routed to the states to disperse as they see fit and eliminate CMS as a central governing body.

If you want socialized healthcare in your local state, awesome, have it. If you want single payer in your state, awesome, have it.
