Health Insurance in California, Its Effect on Public Health Nursing :: Abstract
Health insurance coverage and the means by which it is paid have been topics of intense interest in recent years, but in the United States, creation of a uniform system for provision of medical care has been debated for nearly a century. During the Great Depression, before large group insurance plans, workers who formerly had been able to adequately support their families found themselves without employment or in low income jobs that barely put food on the table and a roof over their heads. Medical care was a luxury they could not afford. Health professionals suffered the effects of the economy too. Published in Public Health Nursing in 1936, this paper reflects a time period when the ravages of the Great Depression were manifest. California had received an influx of poor, migrant...

Barack Obama and the 'empathy deficit' :: The US president claims the 'empathy deficit' is a more pressing problem than the federal deficit, but empathy may be merely a product of changing scientific fashionsIn 2011, researchers at the University of Chicago conducted a simple experiment to ascertain whether a rat would release another rat from a cage without being given a reward. The answer was yes. After several sessions, the rats learned intentionally and quickly to open the restrainer and release the caged rats. The rats also repeated the behaviour even when they were denied the reward of reunion. Even more astonishing, when the rats were presented with two cages, one containing a rat, the other chocolate, they chose to open both cages and "typically shared the chocolate".For the researchers, the conclusion was inescapable: the...

What cost learning? :: One of the effects of the grim economic situation affecting much of the world is its potential impact on funding available for education and in particular continuing professional development (CPD). It has only in recent years in the United Kingdom has there been a move in levelling of the 'playing fields' that has seen allied health professionals getting a fairer access to CPD funding compared with the larger groupings of medicine and nursing. Unfortunately it will come as no surprise if all groups experience a fall in available funding to support learning activities as organisations tighten their belts.
