I'm Surprised The Health Care Repeal Hasn't Merited a Thread

Heck, what about all the employers that discontinued healthcare coverage all together? Or have eliminated jobs to get under the 50 employee threshhold that forces them into the system?

 

And this was nurses who, presumably, are highly educated. People still have a lot to learn. I think we're going to be hearing a lot more of these types of comments.

Andy Griffith said, "I think you're gonna like it" when speaking about the new health care edict. Well, we love ya Andy, but we're not "gonna like it":

 

RN's so yeah, they're educated. At least in nursing stuff. But that doesn't necessarily mean they have common sense or that they have knowledge of what is going on in politics, etc.

They are also government employees so they have good healthcare choices at quite reasonable prices...absolutely when compared to a lot of folks...and yet they were still expecting the government to have their premiums frozen. Maybe they got their pay freeze confused with a healthcare premium freeze.

 

My wife has returned to school to become a nurse. The nursing students are told daily what a huge demand there will be for nurses in the near future because doctors will be leaving the profession once Obamacare kicks in & their wages are reduced.

 

There has been and will certainly continue to be a high demand for most any skilled medical related career. Nurses for sure. No job shortage in my field either. It wasn't a question of if I would find a job when I left the military...it was which one did I want and where did I want to live.

From what I have seen, nurses have a very high turn over rate. It can be a demanding job.Nurses have been being asked to do more and more for a long time as they take tasks previously performed by docs. Also...long hours, just ok pay, lots of work, usually short staffed. And it really seems to take the right person to do the job and not get really bitter and disgruntled after a few years. lol

 

You hit the nail on the head. My best friend's wife is an RN who works 12-hour days, but doesn't complain. She's very people-oriented and truly cares for the patients. She recently lost her mother who she would care for after work each day. Now her father is becoming ill and she's doing the same for him. I have all the respect in the world for her; she's a Saint. Nurses are the backbone of the medical field and deserve every bit of respect we can give them. Hooray to nurses everywhere!

 

You're an idiot. I know somebody very well in the medical corporate world and doctors ain't going anywhere they weren't already because of health care reform. Try again Davey.

 

....but based on everything you stand for, wouldn't that person be a greedy, lying, criminal? How can you trust what they say?

 

Anyone else manage to catch this one;

The Associated Press: Medicare official doubts health care law savings

Maybe this is why the majority of Americans do not like the bill. And when they actually figure out Foster is right and Obama's promises are actually a "big old elephant fart in your face", I will bet that majority grows.

 

The corporate right will fix, won't they? Oh...that's why we got the bill in the first place...because the right was already "taking care of it". I almost forgot. Let's let the corporations decide! Oh...that's right. We tried that one already. Claim denied...

 

How about letting the citizens decided? I'm sure it sounds crazy to the far left but why should anyone be forced into this system?

 

Well yeah, that's called an election. The country elects a new President to replace the old one that didn't do what the people wanted. Best I recall, the right wouldn't even acknowledge health care was an issue until Obama made it an issue. THEN...the right responded, by saying NO, and so, NOW....they want to repeal it, they want to FIX IT. Yeah...we saw how they fixed it before, and now, (surprise,surprise), they want "the market" to fix it, and the lobbyists, CEO's, and other "wealthy" factions to strip it and replace it with something they would like. How very "crapitalistic" of the elite wealthy minority to decide the health and financial collapse for the majority of the rest of us. When Bush and his kronies were in there, it wasn't a problem. Now that the left has addressed it, suddenly it IS a problem.

 

Boy did you get that line right

 

Well you guys were doing such a bang up job on it, we needed to help before you guys stole everything.

 

Ok tom, so what would be wrong with an Obamacare bureaocracy that allowed for an opt-out for those who want to handle there own business?

 

The entire Obamacare house of cards would fall to pieces. Without the forced income (call it taxes or fines), it could not sustain itself.

 

We both know that but I wanted to hear how a lefty justifies it.

 

The problem was brought on by people "who want to handle their own business". Problem is it failed miserably for many.

 

I've done okay so far, I'm willing to take my chances. Now, why shouldn't I have the freedom to opt out of a healthcare system that I don't believe in?

 

Well there, you've just conveyed the entire republican philosophy in one sentence. You got yours. You did ok. So...everybody else must be doing ok, and if they're not, then, well, they are just losers and moochers. You're dunceness is laughable except that it is so sad too.
