CNA members do not support single payer
CNA should poll their rank and file members on this issue. My experience is that there is little support for single payer governement run healthcare. Most support some expansion of coverage and acknowledge the system has problems but do not have confidence that the government will do a better job. Even Nurses from Canada who work with me say its a flawed system that relies on rationing and delays in care. Its lowest common denominator medicine. Nurses are paid less in these systems and they do not have ratio's. CNA is to vested in their political agenda and is not putting its energy and time into its members issues.
