Sprung87. Now start counting up the nurses & doctors quitting, burning out, leaving due to harrassment by the anti-vaxxers, watching the ones that "praise them" and then don't wear masks. Look at the average ages of doctors and nurses. Even city councils are threatened by the antivaxxers and the "fake news" types. At the rate those two professions are losing people, and the sheer length of time to run new recruits through the training/schooling pipelines, the shortage (which has been getting worse and worse for some years, will just overwhelm us. Would you do all that and go that heavily in dept only to be a medical professional and find yourself run/overruled by the unqualified chair-warmers and government bureaucrats and a hypicrital public? We won't mention the politicians. A doctors is allowed 15 minutes with you - them she/he has to go on to the next, which is why the nurse gets the rest of the job. Which might be another reason nurses are quitting. You couldn't pay me enough to be a hospital administrator.
It wasn't the affordable care act, or not just. No one else gave enough of a Da**** t keep the poor alive. This has been going on for decades. Profits over all, not care.
Yeah, we have always had bad actors. Nothing justifies it. What's the percentage? Yu can always point at a bad acto here, and there, but htat doesn't apply to the ast majority of the professions. But we aren't going to solve this country's medical problem, at the rate we are going. Now even the middle class (what there is of it) can't afford medical treatment
Anchorage is bad enough. Now I get to go down to the Lower 48 and experience it down there. Oh joy.
An injury to one is an injury to all.
P.S. This wasn't a rant, just the preamble.
