One of the presidential candidates is talking about implementing a universal health care plan. With the shortage of nurses that we are already facing, what effects will we experience as health care providers? Will that increase the nurse-to-patient ratio? How can it work? How long would we have to wait for a scheduled doctors appointment? If our emergency rooms are already packed resulting in hours of wait time, how much more if we switch over to the universal healthcare plan?
Please know that these are questions that go through my mind, and not statements. I am not saying that its NOT a good idea, nor am I stating that it is. This also doesnt reflect my personal opinions or stance on any particular presidential candidate. Just wondering if anyone else has an idea as to how it might work and what we might face.
