Do you really think a flu shot is going to prevent the flu? This years shot was useless. If that is the only issue bothering your wife in regards to the nursing staff, then that is pretty good. They could strike over nurse patient ratios, a much bigger issue.

You are missing my point.

Clearly, you only want to talk about your union points.

Lets talk about patient outcomes.

And, show me where a higher nurse-patient ratio has increased any of the items where, nationally, hospitals suck.

People bitch about hospitals because the bills are confusing, the communication sucks, and they get horrible MRSA infections.

Your nurse-patient ratio isn’t going to cure that, because even where the ratios are good, the numbers suck. All higher nurse-patient ratios work is to get the dues to the Nurses Unions higher.

It is amazing that on a conservative web site everyone is about cutting government costs, until it hits close.

This Medicare reimbursement issue is going to make care better, more efficient, and with fewer re-admits.
