How will universal health care affect nursing in the United States?

aaront asked:


If universal heath care is eventually implemented in the United States, how will it affect nurses? Will the nursing field be cut back in staff to a minimum, or will more nurses be needed? If they are cut back, and the field becomes more competitive, will the duties change and workload and responsibilities increase? Will the pay scale go down (because of government budget?), remain the same, or increase? I am looking at this from a career perspective, and as a first year nursing student. Any insight helps. Thank you.

    Universal health care will NEVER happen. I am just being real. I **** it when Obama and McCain just tell the people what they want to hear when in reality its just not possible. Do u remember the last to elections, I’ve heard all of this nonsense before and I am not buying it this time. 4 years from now someone politician is going to be saying the same things ” I have a plan that will give every American health care BLAH BLAH BLAH “

    it’ll be good for nurses because now they’ll be government employees. I can see it now…unions, mandatory working conditions and staff patient ratios, top tier health insurance, excellence my friend.

    Unfortunately it’ll be bad for the American people. You can pretty much say goodbye to elective services such as plastic surgery and gastric bypasses. You’ll also have long waits to see a health care provider, since now we have to treat 300 million people at any given time. And who the heck is going to pay us nurses? The taxes will be increased dramatically. It’s a bad idea any way you slice it
