POPSWoman waits in California hospital for a bed to open up here Those of you that are anxious for government run health care be careful for what you wish for. My wife works for the VA hospital. She states that it is very different than the private sector. There are a LOT more managers but not as much goes toward care. In a very good local hospital, they are trying to go to all Registered Nurses. At the VA hospital, they have one Registered Nurse per shift. (I assume that this means for this wing or area of care. I don't mean to imply that this is true for the entire hospital.) Yet, they do have a guy that walks around in a suit and tie that is in charge of cleaning. (Something you would never see at private hospital.) I don't know what the answer is but does one really think the government can do better?
