Real People DENIED Real Healthcare: David Welch, RN



Uploaded by: calnurses
Video Description:
SACRAMENTO, CA--David Welch is an RN and a patient who was denied health insurance because of minor skin cancer on his nose. This story, of an upper middle class white male nurse, shows how virtually anyone can be denied healthcare, and further illustrates the need for a universal healthcare system such as AB 840 in California and HR 676 nationally.

I will admit my ... ( 1 year ago by dane3026)
I will admit my understanding is not comprehensive, but from reading your comments, I would venture that yours is not either. I read Dr. Gratzer's book; I'm also reading Dr. Don Sloan's book "The Corporate Takeover of Healthcare in America" It's easy to see the flaws in Sloan's analysis. So why would I trust his solutions?
dane brings up a ... ( 1 year ago by keegansillaf)
dane brings up a valid point. I just think that healthcare should be govened by the govenment because too many people are getting denied. Research needs to be done by pharma companys. at the same time they also need to charge a resonable price.

Sorry this is frustrating because i have to limit my answer to 500. below does not make much sense do to the lack of space. *sigh* anyway i do agree with you on some things but others i dont.
Speaking of ... ( 1 year ago by dane3026)
Speaking of pharmaceuticals; why does the FDA require clinical trials to prove safety AND efficacy? Do consumers actually buy ineffective products? (I.e., cars that don't run, homes that don't shelter, drugs that don't work, etc.) Establishing efficacy adds about 40% (Dr. Gratzer's study) to the cost of bringing a drug to market.

Another interesting topic is Prilosec vs. Nexium (The Purple Pill); Dr. Gratzer addresses in his book why the same pharma company would produce two products that do the same thing equally well...and then mega advertise direct to consumers "Nexium - The Purple Pill"
Americans should ... ( 1 year ago by dalegambill)
Americans should know that HR 676 will cost less and provide complete health care benefits. Workers will have freedom to change jobs without fear of losing health care coverage, and employers will not be shackled by health care costs. It is the single best thing we can do for our economy.

I hope,wish and pray you got cancer.I think cancer is too sweet of a disease for someone so strong like like you.
dalegambill, ... ( 1 year ago by dane3026)
dalegambill, freeing employers from health care costs makes sense. Allowing workers to change jobs without changing insurance makes sense too (and would work well with the first point.) Providing health care as an entitlement to every American, as a means of implementing the first two points, carries with it a host of other serious problems to which I am opposed.

Dear Sir/Madam,
After working hard for over 25 years and built a decent life for my self and my family, because of and due to the last 10 years of persistent epileptic seizures, I lost my wife, my home, my job, my car and my driving license to become destitute homeless.
I've been told by Stanford University, I need brain surgery to cure my seizures but I don't have health insurance. Can you please help,
Thank you,
Regards,
Gerrie
Garoumec, ... ( 1 year ago by dane3026)
Garoumec, defamation is a verbal statement. Libel is written. My statement was written. So I definitely was NOT 'defaming' you. Besides, I was characterizing your COMMENTS (not you) and how YOUR comments EXEMPLIFY your character.

dane3026.defamation or libel or whatever.I beg of you not to twist my words.I pray and wish cancer on you or a long long long illness,but never didn't I mention for you to be dead,even though I think you deserve more than that.If there's really hell,you already have caved yourself a nice hot place in it.Once again,I wish cancer on you ,not death.

David: I remember reading your story in "Registered Nurse" a while ago. Your case is another example of how perverted our health care system has become because of the insurance industry.
I hope you do get to fulfill your desire to cut back on working and pursue other interests. Kudos to you and the CNA for bringing this issue to the forefront.
Many thanks, from a fellow nurse.

Go to London, the banking and insurance industries dictate it all. And, the money made in pharma . . . I just called about a home equity loan and to my surprise with all of the FED RESERVE lowering of interst rates have found out it is a SCAM. Interest rates are higher than ever before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why stop with ... ( 5 months ago by lorax2013)
Why stop with universal healthcare for only Americans? Sounds a little selfish to me. If you really care about helping people, send the tax money to Africa and help 100 times more people. But in reality, this arguement of "helping the poor" is really a mask for "steal from the rich" and give ME free healthcare.

This election will see the passage of a national healthcare plan; I feel certain of it.
Health insurance is essential to being a productive member of society. It's as basic as clean water.
Those that DON'T think OTHERS should have what THEY personally have....will not win out this time. There are more of us than you!
Until we walk our talk in our own country, we should not go overseas.
As for lorax2013...The GRINCH did NOT win out in Who-ville. His heart 3x's its size.
