Health Care Goblins We Ignore
By D. S. Mitchell
Grassroots Platform
Over the last couple of days Calamity has focused on Medicare-For-All. But there is more to the story of health care in America. Www.CalamityPolitics.com gives me a grassroots platform to discuss health care. But, it does not give me the right to manipulate facts or lie about the issues. With that said, I am sharing opinions developed through my years of ground level experience in health care, otherwise known as trench warfare.
Street Level Experience
I am a baccalaureate prepared RN, and have worked nearly four decades in major hospitals in Oregon, Washington, California and Nevada. On the battlefield I have formed many opinions about the scope of care we give our patients and how to deliver better client results. I’m not only experienced, but I am passionate about health care and how to improve it. Mine is a pragmatic common sense small world approach to these issues. I am not a policy maker. I do not have a doctorate in nursing or public policy. It is important to leave policy creation to the experts. My comments and opinions come from a community view.
