doing any thing he promised. Linda | 10.21.09 @ 4:44PM I too am an RN, with 33 years experience. Certainly I have a heart for the situations you describe. But because a thing is different does not necessarily make it better. There are HUGE problems with the proposal that is being levied here. All 'change' is not good. We must seek answers to these serious problems but we must not be hasty or we will have situations that are worse yet. I totally agree with Ben. jay | 12.7.09 @ 5:48PM Really....this sounds a lot like communism to me. I am not a doctor (nor have I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express), but I certainly don't buy in to the idea that all jobs are of equal value. Just because my wife has her Ph.D., doesn't mean she should be paid the same as a Physician. She doesn't hold people's lives in her hand, nor does the market support that price. Plus, my doctor friends DO have to pay LARGE malpractice insurance claims to cover the LARGE settlements in case something terrible happens. My wife can't be sued for her teaching. They pay large malpractice fees because the insurance industry says they should. C'mon folks, please wake up to who really runs your lives. You have no say in government nor in health care. Doctors have no say in health care either. They follow what the corporations tell them. They get paid what the insurance companies say they should
