I agree with you! Additionally, what nurses we can get are not taking care of patients but trying to keep up with all the documentation that the government requires. Further, it is the documentation that is inspected not the actual care!

No one wants to talk about the elephant(s) in the room:

1) Massive illegal immigration bringing their diseases from Mexico and South America.

2) Fat, lazy, self abusing, ignorant citizenry in general.

Well, maybe when people find that having to work and make some money is the prerequisite to being able to eat, sleep indoors, and get medical care, they will just naturally find themselves less fat, less lazy, and competent at doing something economically useful. That is the way it has worked for my forefathers and I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t still.
