Mostly ignored in the money media, nurses, like teachers, and other female-dominated professions are feeling the pain that Wall Street and the Beltway are blocking out.The Nurses Station: Jean Ross

Bernie Sanders: We're All In This Together on Health Care
May 11, 2011"The USA has got to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to everyone as a right, not a privilege," says Senator Bernie Sanders, who this week is introducing a new bill in Congress that would provide a single-payer health care system, administered at the state level, that would treat health care as a human right.
