will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

Published

I been hearing this debate off and on for a long time about how if Obama gets universal healthcare to go ( if he gets elected of course)though in the US that nursing pay will be cut dramatically. I would think this has to do with the fact that we would all be working for the government and that there will no longer be competition. There are many people in my nursing class that said they will leave nursing if thats the case. I also talked to several doctors that said the same thing about medicine in general. Im just curious if anyone has some good info about this. Thanks

Show me how everyone is being held accountable now and I'll stopp supporting UHC.

Since I'm funding my own healthcare, I have no obligation to be accountable to anyone other than myself. When others expect me to fund their healthcare, I have every right to demand accountability on their part. That's the difference between private pay and taxpayer funding.

Well I can see your view but actually... You have no right to demand anything. Your only right is to vote. If it is voted in you will have to comply. Just like we had to comply with this silly war...

How many of them don't and still can't afford healthcare?

Are you not demanding UHC and demanding that someone else pay for it?

So back to the 'show me your evidence...'

If you have 'any' evidence to support your claims show it.

Nope I am demanding a better system that also covers 'everyone.'

I'd even be willing to spot you the 30 dollars for a membership seeing how CRNA wages must have dropped. ;)

I gave at the office. Again you have no right to demand anything according to your own words.

You are right. I will have absolutely no say in how Congress votes in the end. Doesn't change the fact that I expect a change. A good one at that.

I'm not the one making the claim that it is soup line America. Where is your evidence that all these suffering people exist that can't help themselves?

According to Barack you can expect hope and change. Of course he doesn't say change for the better.

Um go outside? There are plenty of people out there. You are a nurse right? If you were a nurse you'd see plenty of them. ;)

No one is saying there aren't freeloaders. I dislike them as much as you. There are however people that fall through the cracks and wantonly ignoring them is irresponsible. Claiming they don't exist when they are in your face is just, well .

Just because you can ignore a homeless person does NOT mean they aren't still there.

Nor does McCain. We gonna play this silly game ALL night?

Sure there are homeless people but not 20 million of them like the left would have us believe. The few that fall through the cracks could easily be taken care of without forcing everyone else in to some socialist health care scheme. Actually I would have less of a problem if individual states wanted to implement some sort of health care programs. That away if I didn't want to participate I could simply move to a state that did not force everyone into government mandated healthcare. Come to think of the libs in Oregon tried it and was soundly defeated. I also believe Massachussets is having some serious budget issues with their health care mandates as well.
