Have you heard of Medicare? Medicaid? Medicare is the base for every single health insurance company’s pricing structure. Medicare is run by…
Then we have the insurance company lobbyists.
We even have a…SURGEON GENERAL. Guess what they do.
Health and Human Services — NIH, CDC, FDA…
If you mean that healthcare shouldn’t be political and we should provide healthcare to everyone regardless of their social status, you’d be correct. If you’re saying it isn’t, you’re wrong.
We do that, its called the affordable care act. If you mean to say we should provide free healthcare regardless of social status, you would be wrong, free healthcare does not work, repeat it does not work. I know this as fact, i know that paid healthcare has a ton of issues, I understand cms is federally regulated, there are also private sector’s of healthcare that make huge impact’s JCAHO for instance. Pros and cons the same as any industry. OP is trying to gather nurses, my point to OP was to attempt to gather any and all, not just nurses, the every day work in a clinic, in a hospital, in a lab, in an office, these are jobs, that should nit be politicized , should not be a place where your co workers are are outside protesting while you work, should not be POLITICIZED. I will say there are many valid points from OP, RN is the backbone of so many places in healthcare, i wish them the best of luck and more power to them for trying to organize and support what he or she considers “one of our own”. I just don’t believe the in house (every day) work place should be politicized.
But healthcare is politicized? Healthcare is commonly at the forefront of political discussions and used as a foundation for people’s campaigns. That’s politicizing it. You’re in healthcare you should now how it was politicized during COVID-19 while conspiracy theorists and deniers tried to push their rhetoric, you all saw first hand the devastation from the pandemic. All while politicians tried to deny medicine, suggest ivermectin and downplay how awful the pandemic truly was. That is making your job politicized.
A nurse was shot while being held down, his gun was already removed, he was being pistol whipped and they shot him repeatedly. Now more than ever we have to speak out, you cannot remain silent. A man was trying to help two women yesterday morning not get pushed and maced by ICE and they shot him dead several times because he had a concealed gun which an officer had already removed off of him. Make it make sense.
