I think nurses should definitely be involved in helping us arrive at health care reform. Ideally we'd have representation from everyone involved. Payors. Patients. Nurses. Doctors. Hospitals. That'd be ideal. Because it's not just a matter of what nurses think or what patients do. We have to consider all sides. What a novel concept it would be to represent each involved entity in the creation of health care that actually serves people's health (and our country's).

Nurses are underpaid, it's true. I do hope you'll re-examine your claim that physicians are greedy, however. The last thing people go through four years of A+ college work, four years of grueling study in medical school, and up to 7 years of residency training for is money. If it were greed for money, believe me, no one would ever make it through. There's much more money to be made in other fields. Physicians work that hard because they're interested in helping people and in medical science. The pay in some specialties is quite high, it's true. But you'll be hard put to find physicians in specialties other than cash-for-service fields such as cosmetic surgery who are getting wealthy. Just make sure you're aware of that before you denigrate professionals who work this hard to achieve a medical degree and certification and write them off as greedy. Greedy people don't have to work this hard, frankly.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Do you think we should ask and involve nurses to fix the Health care system? I do, who better knows the ropes. They see (and listen)first hand what the patients are in need of and are lacking. I dont think a chump like McCain and a Loser like Obama can do squat for our health care.. I mean would you ask a baker how to change the Flux capacitor in the Delorean. No, you would ask doc brown.. I dont think greedy chumps on capital hill, or greedy Doctors are the key.
