1. *Lose, ahem (in the thread title)

Just a grammar Nazi note.

But an important issue regarding the destruction of health care by the Drumpf administration. Thanks for posting, Cattledog.

2. Well

3. Just curious, what are these figures based on? nt

4. The fact that no one can afford Trump care and which is why they removed the mandate...so

people can exercise their 'freedom' and drop their insurance. This will make thousands ineligible in Ohio and you won't need so many doctors and nurses...we also have Cleveland Clinic which may or may not survive.

5. I get that part, but

I'm really wondering how they came up with 81,000. That's just under half of all nurses in the state.

Wasn't there a severe nursing shortage prior to the ACA?

6. Elections have consequences

Sorry Ohio

7. Half the nurses in the state?

8. Seems just a tich high.

Hyperbole doesn't do us any favors.

9. Agreed

People are not stupid. If you throw exaggerated claims out like that it just kills your credibility.

10. I wonder how many of those 81,000

voted for Trump?

[Ilsa]

13. I bet it is less than the percentage of that state.

Nurses, in general, are trained to be critical thinkers, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I bet more vote democratic than the state average.

12. Maybe there is a plan to get them coal jobs

[Ilsa]

14. Nursing homes, rural hospitals and clinics,

will have unexpectedly high closure rates.

Doctors offices will see incomes cut, meaning they'll hire "health aides" that have bare minimum training. Hospitals will put more trained aides, vocational nurses, etc under the supervision of fewer RNs.

I can see where more than 25% would have to move or retrain to find work.
