I would seriously wonder how much you understand about proportions given the average nurse makes about 00.000002% of the $4.5 trillion in annual health care spending in the USA.

I also didn't say that should be the only factor. Clearly proximate responsibility for the relevant decisions should be (and already is) part of the equation.

Okay, and Thompson made .000004% of that. Both absolutely miniscule numbers.

If an average nurse makes $85k/yr, and thompson made $20M/yr, that is a difference of 235x.

Are you saying that getting murdered is better than getting punched in the face 235 times? If anything, these uppity nurses are getting off light.

Why are you trying to absolve nurses of their responsibility in contributing to a broken system? "Just following orders" doesn't fly.

If "silence is complicity", what is actively working with the evil that is US healthcare?
