Get the insurance companies out of the system. They are the ones who leached out so much of the money. Get rid of many of the upper level managers of managers of managers, hire more ancillary staff so that nurses can be nurses instead of secretaries and janitorial staff, get computer charting so that misplaced papers don't happen anymore and get rock solid national protocols so rogue stupid care doesn't happen anymore and then let nurses be nurses with mandatory reasonable staff ratios so that we can go back to providing care for our patients instead of the charts. Tolerate no further abuse within the workplace from fellow staff. Zero tolerance, in fact.

Get rid of JCHCO or at least require any reviewer to be a current floor nurse. They live in ivory towers and make proclamations that are difficult to implement and therefore often get circumvented. Same with the Magnet company - get rid of them, they are leeches on the system. Force Big Pharma to stop leeching off of the system. The money was there before they ate it all.

First and foremost, let the government take over the system. I know there is plenty about government being inefficient, but the current system is beyond inefficient. The private sector wants good profit, not good care. Government hopefully will focus on good care and not necessarily on good profit.

That's probably only half of my complaints.
