I have two BS degrees and never made more than 70,000 a year even with overtime. I will not do this job for one dollar less even if it means organanizing union membership at my hospital or leaving the field. The government has always been able to make the hospital's absorb the cost of really expensive cases. Even our republican governor in MS has decided to tax hospital beds (sick people) to pay for medicaid deficits. This is the single factor that the retards forgot to calculate when they come up with their plan. The basic question is why do you expect our wasteful government to eliminate waste or our uncompassionate government, with its vested interest in our early demise, to improve our health? We have seen this administration steal from the people on level never imagined. Why do they really want health care reform if not to steal more? I hope they all go to jail.
