I am a registered nurse on a surgical unit. I am charged to care for up to 6 patients at a time as a staff nurse or up to 14 if I am working as charge nurse. If Obamacare is not repealed nurses will be caring for more patients, which is not good for patient safety. If the government does enact anything, how about a free yearly health checkup for preventative health. If we can prevent patients from developing heart disease or diabetes, we can prevent the costs of treating these diseases.
I’m proud of Dr. Carson and I’m proud of you, for speaking up. He may have a larger pulpit from which to speak, but you are important too.
