Male Nurses and Healthcare rant thread

Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown, maybe that new guy from Maine, Angus King or whatever his name is.... That's probably it for the Senate though.

Nothing changes until we get more good ones. That's the problem. People need to realize the biggest weapon they have is a pen, a phone, or a computer. You write your representatives and if they get enough citizens telling them do this or else, things change. But you have to have the numbers. It would be interesting to see how many citizens even know who their US Senators or US Congressmen are.

What politicians fear most is a public that stands up for themselves.

Specifically "reality" television. And FAUX Noize.

I really don't watch much TV. I probably wouldn't even have one if I lived by myself.

Name some senators and congressmen that actually care about the American people and can be trusted with our money.

Because we used to not be idiots. The US has been dumbed down. I blame television for a lot of it. The biggest mind fuck machine ever invented.

I stopped supporting "Obamacare" the day that Baucus and the other false "democrats" killed the public option. I was willing to accept that as a compromise, because (as Howard Dean said at the time) the public option would have either forced the insurance corporations to compete on an equal playing field, or else go out of business. And their greed would have made the latter option most likely, which eventually would have ended in a single payer system by default anyway.

And it IS going to happen eventually. Just a damn shame that so much time, money, and lives will likely be wasted before it happens.

Well Obamacare will become such an unfixable mess they will have to scrap the whole thing. The problem is you aren't going to get a good system from a bunch of krooks. Name some senators and congressmen that actually care about the American people and can be trusted with our money. The amount of money they have stollen from us is amazing. It's actually inexpensive to provide the healthcare. 90% of people are pretty healthy and don't need much care. The money is in selling the insurance. Sure you could provide a national healthcare program for chicken feed compared to what the government wastes on bailing out banks and running the war machine.

Kind of makes you wonder how the US got to be the supposed leader and most technologically advanced country in the free world considering how reluctant we are to embrace common sense ideas.

Most people (72% of Americans, last I checked) realize that the corporate insurance system is fucked beyond repair and would rather see it replaced with a single payer system like the rest of the goddamn planet has.

Yes but in your eagerness you supported legislation that nobody really knew what was in it or what the details were. I was against Obamacare because I didn't know the details and knew most the politicians are in the back pockets of corporations. The left falls for the same tricks again and again. They just need to sell something as the greater good and you guys fully support it and then it always turns out to be exactly what you guys were fighting against. You are so easy to dupe.

Obama is just another George W. Bush posing as a progressive Democrat. The liberals that call Obama a Republican actually get it. They have woken up. Barry is a multinational corporation man. Oh he may have been raised with communist rhetoric but a communist would take over Wall Street and nationalize it.

I sometimes take Bicarbonate of Soda and grind an Aspirin up and mix the two hot water ..Maybe, I should put that all in some large tablet and make a fortune.

Water straight Aspirin and time is the best hangover cure in myop.

[vandeleur]

I don't use them for hangovers , mainly after gym or tkd.
Think am just trying to fight off the aches and pains of getting older.

I can't touch those dissolvable tablets that you put in water and bubble up . I can't drink them without wanting to throw them up.

Fuck didnt know brofen was bad for your kidneys , I kneck them like smarties .

Dunno how you do it... I take one on an empty stomach, instant dry heaves. Hate ibuprofen.

[Nickdfresh]

Fuck didnt know brofen was bad for your kidneys , I kneck them like smarties .

Drinking lots of water (something that should be done anyway) will help...

[clarathecarrot]

Taking Ibu's after drinking or during (Booze) is murder on them..it is great for muscle aches not hangover type stuff it reduces swolen fiber tissue.

I only take Naproxen Sodium, exclusively ... it is sold under naprosyn or I think it is in aleve or one of those expensive over the counter rememdies.

I buy the generic Naproxen Sodium from CVS.,it seems to not give the abdominal pain associated with Ibu's and Tylenol...though I do think people are different and what workd for one may not for another.

Tylenol is bad for the liver, Ibuprofen is bad on the kidneys, and aspirin can make you bleed to death.

But only if you take way too much of them. If you take Tylenol 3 or 4 times a year for a headache, it ain't going to hurt you. The PBR that caused the headache will do far worse damage to your liver.
