ummmm, this looked nowhere near as bad as it was being spun. I saw some home healthcare providers fighting for their patients. Is that really any different then the people around here going on and on about the Obama death panels that Palin mentioned? And, if banks are getting bailouts for their stupidity, shouldn’t the money be clawed back from them first before you cut of money to the sick?
If my job involved turning people over every four hours I wouldn’t expect to be able to retire at 50. I’d be worried by competition from others who possessed my amazing person-turning skills.
Unionized workers are ‘fighting for their patients’ in the same way that the robots in ‘The Matrix’ fight to keep humanity as fleshy-pink batteries.
Remove the price-fixing power of unions, remove collusive bargaining and see the service to patients improve.
