Please write to your Federal Senators and your Congressional
Representative to oppose and vote against H.R. 5924, The Emergency
Nursing Supply Relief Act.
I am a male R.N..
The cause of the nursing shortage is "monopoly capitalism"
concommitant with affirmative action programs and discrimination
against men in nursing. Our courts, our legislators, and our
regulatory bodies do not protect men from discrimination in nursing
nor do they encourage men to remain in nursing.
Men leave nursing at approximately twice the rate as women do.
Both men and women leave nursing at a very high rate due to poor
working conditions, the lack of job security, and the lack of job
benefits that other occupations have.
This act is a continuing attempt by the health care industry to
"monopolize" labor, through the immigration to the USA of massive
numbers of foreign nurses, in the health care industry such as to
maintain a labor force which is not subject to the normal "free
market" and "competitive" forces of true capitalism.
Laws which would address the causes of the nursing shortage (poor
working conditions, poor job security, the lack of appropriate
benefits) in the USA rather are opposed by the health care industry
as inimical to their monopoly of the nursing labor market and the
unjust profits which they accumulate as a result of the same.
Rather, legislation addressing the causes of the nursing shortage
would be the most appropriate long term strategy for alleviating the
nursing shortage and justly compensating those American citizens who
take the time and effort to become Registered Nurses and to remain in
nursing. |
