      Yeah, I’ve worked for a Catholic hospital it would literally tell staff nurses that have been there for 20 years they didn’t have the money for bonuses or raises other than market and then I would go into the staff break room for the emergency department and they were able to give doctors $500 bonuses just for signing up for a shift on top of what they would already make. The ED was staffed by an outside company. They got paid by the hospital if they have that money just to get people to pick up a shift then I think the hospital has enough money to pay nurses but they deserve.

          Socialist governments have laws that dictate both the maximum patients need to pay and stronger minimum protections nurses deserve.

          But just like any nation that has a known GDP rating its still capitalist by nature. And just like all of them the problem is not a lack of resources or funding its the unwillingness of people in power to not partake in personal corruption.

          Every major city on our planet has people in top apartments with more luxery then they can appreciate while homeless people sleep in the street.

          There is no war but class war.

          they all cost

          what are you even talking about?

          Nurses are overworked and underpaid no matter who foots the bill.
