I am totally for health care reform so don't bother to say I am not. I think it must be done, even badly at first, and straighten out as we go. Right now open the floodgates to nurses and other medical people by giving low income applicants free ride to training. Consider some training in Spanish to start with and perhaps other languages..Maine has nursing in French programs. Perhaps Russian, Ukranian, etc. But Spanish for sure. Bypass the need to think and treat and communicate in a non-dominant language. Train prisoners in health care fields.

I want people to tell the truth though..and the truth as I see it is yes, there will be major trouble in a transition period. We can deal with it. I don't want people called idiots etc. who point this out.

By the way, just read in Canada, which I love and admire their system..but anyway, males and female in the same rooms in hospitals? This is not an internet rumor..was in either Seattle Times or Portland Oregonian I think on editorial page a couple of weeks ago. For sure we don't need that.

Anyway, full steam ahead. Do this with honesty and courage and a way to sweep up the messes left its wake. Don't be ignorant/arrogant and think you can change something this big flawlessly..won't happen.
