Healthcare Trivia point few know going back to the Tea Party beginnings and the Koch's with Insurance special interest....They got up around a billion dollars to fight The Clinton's on Heathcare....It worked so well they continued to morf it till it became The Tea Party and the beginning of crazy politics...
Past that, Credit due...Will add a couple points.......
First, dems and independents can't forget how repubs railed and still do, against Obamacare with no plan to replace it....Nor will they as your work shows....
But Obamacare does hurt small businesses disproportionately........
Corps found a way around it by keeping people listed as part time,,, Just work them 35hrs a week, every week...They also either quit providing it or laid a big part of the cost back on the employee, and that continues.....Our teachers strike was of over just that.....
Another example of the broken social contract now its all becoming another gov subsidy. Our buddy corporate greed took hold, they are professional cost cutters now......Thats where dems dropped the ball
The working poor and poor now have Medicaid, but in between those and upper middle-class, its just plain tough to afford or impossible.....
The subject always ends with the need for the one payer system which would return us to the best in the world again if handled like all those ahead of us, who, they all use the one payer system
Nurses are complete victims of cost cutting, my ex is a nurse and two others in the family and a neighbors wife...Hospitals are hiring and maintaining as few as possible...Its been a burn out profession for a long time, most people could care less till something goes wrong, guess who gets the blame......Very much like teachers, but they don't understand how stretched nurses are and have been,,,,,(teachers to)
