Today's nurses are under increasing pressure to concretely connect nursing practice and patient outcomes. It is thus difficult to understand why nursing and nurses appear to have such a limited vocabulary when discussing and promoting their own work. Even more difficult to understand is why, when there is a great deal of data documenting the critical importance of nursing in patient care, nursing groups and their political supporters make so little use of it.

This year has been a bad one for the pharmaceutical industry. In recent months, newspaper stories exposed the dangers of drugs like Vioxx and Celebrex, prompting calls for more government regulation of the industry. Reductions in managed care payments to physicians opened the door to industry subsidies paid to doctors. Starting in medical school and medical training, doctors are treated pizza lunches and free pens and then graduate on to lunches in expensive restaurants, fully paid junkets to posh resorts and a variety of other inducements.

Security Council NAICS/Industry Codes928120 International Affairs Abstract: This article presents a commentary note of the current political issue regarding the U.S. strategy to tackle the conflict with Iraqi administrator Saddam Hussein. Many people in Washington DC think that it is always good time to attack on Iraq. Bombing Iraq would be a spectacular but dangerous gesture, a smokescreen to cover the lack of a logical policy. Sanctions and military action against Iraq are both as morally dubious as they are practically ineffective. The U.S. administration is now open about what it wants-the overthrow of Saddam. But that's not what the Security Council sought when it initially authorized sanctions, and then military action, against Iraq. The objective then was to persuade the Baghdad regime to quit Kuwait, Iraq.

For traditional heart bypass surgery, hospital stays of two or more weeks were common as recently as a few years ago. Now four days is considered the goal. Cutting hospital stays reduces governmental and corporate costs. The "National Association for Home Care" reports that 1,200 agencies have closed since the initiation of the interim payment system, and 77 percent of agencies have reduced staff, some by more than a fifth. The United States is among those with the shortest hospital stays.

Indeed, more and more doctors are now willing to work in coalitions where they learn from and fight for the needs of those whom they have traditionally considered inferiors or adversaries. One of the most promising examples of this shift is the Ad Hoc Committee to Defend Health Care in Massachusetts. The group-now 5,000 began in 1996 when several physicians decided to initiate a moral protest against corporate healthcare.

Authors: Gordon, Suzanne1 lsupport@aol.com Source: WorkingUSA; Jun2009, Vol. 12 Issue 2, p279-297, 19p Document Type: Article Subject Terms: *LABOR organizing *PRIVATE sector *FREEDOM of employment *NURSES Geographic Terms: UNITED States Company/Entity: UNITED States. National Labor Relations Board NAICS/Industry Codes: NAICS/Industry Codes 813930 Labor Unions and Similar Labor Organizations Abstract: The essay examines private sector unionization in the U.S., arguing that elections for representation frequently are unfairly unbalanced against supporters of union representation. Given that hospital administrators typically harbor an antiunion bias, with few exceptions, representation elections are permeated with employer propaganda to ensure their institutions remain nonunion. Passage of the Employee Free Choice Act would significantly improve the capacity of nurses to organize unions of their choice through card check rules, while reducing the hospital management “vote-no” campaigns that are highly unfavorable toward labor organizing. Unionization is a means to significantly improve conditions for nurses, who are the principle “guardians of the sick.” [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of WorkingUSA is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

It is an attempt to reach out to patients and families and elicit Congressional action to address what nurses and increasingly many physicians feel is a trend that is literally endangering the lives of thousands of patients: Responding to market pressures, hospitals are "restructuring" or downsizing. By pitting hospitals against one another in the bidding for managed-care contracts, the new lords of the health care market-insurers and heath maintenance organizations are winning drastic discounts, often below the hospitals' actual costs. To make up their losses, hospitals are cutting their nursing staffs, which represent about 28 percent of hospital labor costs.

Managed care does not guarantee access to health care. The main goal of the managed care is to maintain the profitability of some of the most lucrative corporations in the U.S. to achieve this goal these corporation apply various mechanisms. One of the mechanism is the denial of free choice of doctor and hospital and the substitution of a select group of providers who are generally chosen by the criteria of cost and their willingness to follow a managed care plan's guidelines on which services are appropriate and when.
