It costs a lot to run and staff a hospital. How much you think all the technology they have to use costs?
It gives people jobs but it also drives up the costs
When I worked at children’s hospital I did research for a Dr. I wasn’t really necessary either

The best part is having insurance, finding an in network doctor and hospital, then being told that the anesthesiologist was not in network. Like WTF how

It is so stupidly convoluted.
The fix is to essentially remove insurance from general health care and save it for the reason insurance actually exists, critical life altering events.

frick you. The problem is American healthcare system. A family of four can easily pay over 20 thousand dollars. I guess you rather kids die than get adequate health care even if it’s from the gov
Yeah but 7 in 10? Where are the jobs that provide medical insurance?

Staffing is always an issue at most hospitals now. They have CNAs and techs so they can do the basic stuff (taking vitals, bed baths, etc) so the nurses can do the more skilled care that requires a nursing license (giving meds, treatments, etc). It def ain’t about “giving people jobs”. Hospitals across the nation are hurting baaaaaaaddddd financially so they will use the least amount of staff they can get away with to save money.

Insurance shouldn’t be used for every damn prescription or every single visit to a doctor.
That isn’t insurance.
It is like using your car insurance for oil changes or putting air in your tires.
We lucked out by having our kiddo at the university hospital my wife works at. Can’t imagine what it would be like otherwise.

Our whole welfare/medicaid/disability system is fricked up. If you make a penny past a certain amount, you lose all your benefits. A large segment of the population is disincentivized to do better. A graduated system of aid based on income would be a lot better. More people wouldn’t be afraid to take that next step toward productive citizenship if they would only lose, say, 15% of their benefits at a time if they moved a step up the economic ladder. But if you go from $40,000 a year in government handouts to zero if you make a dollar more than that line the government has drawn, why the frick would you try harder?

That will never happen. The big “fix” that got rammed through under Obama didn’t help anyone but health insurance companies who were handed a compulsory customer base on a silver platter.

Did you tell him he's a rotten low down no good freeloading piece of shite?
shite like that is WAY too prevalent these days and the perpetrators need to be ridiculed constantly.

“The other nurse duties” are a hell of a lot more complex than they were back in the day, and the amount of documentation and hoops you have to jump through due to lawsuits is also much greater.
