Can 'Caring Across Generations' Change the World?
April 13, 2012Ask anyone. We all have our “care stories.” What we don’t tend to have is a plan for what we’ll do when someone we love needs care, or when we ourselves turn out not to be invincible. We don’t have a plan, and neither does our government, and yet a crisis looms.Nurses Warn Washington: Don't Cut Care
July 22, 2011The Economic Policy Institute notes that for the poorest 40 percent of 65-and-older households, Social Security payouts constitute more than four-fifths of total income - and as RN Deborah Burger points out, patients are already making deadly choices between medications, rent and food.DeMoro: It's Not About A Paycheck
July 17, 2011The lobbyists and their pals in the media would have us believe the big corporations will leave this country if asked to pay their fair share. We've heard that story before.Safety First: Texas Terminations Put Patients at Risk
July 15, 2011To hear the debate over union rights in Washington, you'd think workers' rights had nothing to do with people's safety, only profits and threats to the same. The struggle of seven nurses in Brownsville Texas puts a different spin on things.America's Not Broke but our Healthcare System is
June 24, 2011For how long have we said that women are the canaries in society's coal mine? It's still true. 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.Anika Rahman: Fighting the Womancession
May 12, 2011"I imagine a world in which my seven-year-old daughter doesn't say to me 'I can't be the president because I'm a girl.'" Anika Rahman was horrified and yet not surprised when her daughter expressed that sentiment. As the new CEO and president of the Ms. Foundation for Women, Anika works to empower women to fight for their right to control their bodies and their lives.The Nurses Station: Jean Ross
May 12, 2011"The message of public vs. private, fight against each other, isn't working," says Jean Ross of the Minnesota Nurses Association, who joined the protests in Madison, Wisconsin at the Capitol building against Scott Walker's union-busting bill. Jean and the National Nurses United have been traveling and talking to their workers, hearing firsthand about the impact of the economy on nurses and their patients.The Nurses Station, Anika Rahman and New York Teachers

May 9, 2011The Senate and the House of Representatives agree: single-payer health care is the only way to provide real coverage for all. Insurance companies are never going to do the right thing and put people before profits, so the only option is to go around them, and politicians in both houses have voted to create a real health care system.Everybody In, Nobody Out: Rallying For Universal Healthcare in Vermont
May 7, 2011We've followed Vermont's struggle for single-payer healthcare for a while now, and this week the grassroots movement saw victory as the State Senate passed the bill, which now heads to Governor Peter Shumlin for his signature. Last week, Sam Mayfield attended a rally in support of the bill in Montpelier and sent us this report on what Green Mountain Care means to the people of that state.
