politcs and religion 8-31 fix our health care system

Hello. Yesterday in my building where I live there is a guy there who is 63 years old, and sick. (this is going to be gross). He has legs that he can't lift because they are too heavy. He had puss, coming out of his legs,it smells like rotting flesh literally. He needs assisted health care. Yet he has no nurse. I was burdened by this so I talked to someone whos sister is an R.N., and he told me that the governor of California Arnold Schwargennezer approved the bill 4 to 1 nurses. Let me explain in California for every 4 patients they need to have 1 nurse. Like me you said "that's great", no it is not. You see there is a shortage of California nurses here, so if you have a 4 to 1 ratio, then there is a problem. But here is the whammie, if you are a hospital nurse (whether county or private) you will get penalized financially for disobeying this rule. Let me explain again, in other words, if you take care of more than 4 patients you will not get as much money for your hospital. So that is why you have 'patient dumping'. This guy was released with no records or anything. They 'legally' dumped him and told him to go home. Why? Because there was no more room for him, he can not lift his legs, he can not sit on a toilet without assistance, yet they released him. He has green legs (looks like gangrene) and they released him. We need to fix our health care system. Email me. http://www.adamhawke000@yahoo.com and Http://www.latravelytb.com and www.frc.org and www.citizenlink.org
