So uh… that whole pandemic on top of an already struggling healthcare system was a fiasco.

And you’re blaming… vaccines?

Please tell me I’m wrong.

Edit in response to edit: you’re blaming a mandate designed to keep people safe for costing more for healthcare. Nurses SHOULD be paid triple what they are for the work they do and the last few years.

I blame YOU and morons like you who think the mandate is the problem when mandates and amazing science are what got us through the pandemic so far with just one of the highest per capita death rates.

Antivaxxers made this LONGER and much more painful than it needed to be.

And you don't think nurses figured out their worth? Those that could become travelers did. Hospitals refuse to compete and pay their nurses accordingly. Raise pay, fix staff ratios. Then they might do better.

Boston seems to have no problem with any of this. I get in to better specialists there quicker than Bangor. So I travel 5 hours, get quicker, better, more up to date care.

I'm so sick of listening to "well covid" as an excuse for everything in Bangor when it comes to healthcare.

I refuse to go the EMMC after the way tgey've treated my adult child, my other adult child is a nurse and worked there during college for a year as a cna. They want nurses but treat workers like crap. Can't blame covid for that. Now she's a nurse that will never work for northern lights.

So… you’re saying the medical providers who survived the global pandemic in no small part due to the miraculous vaccine demand more pay as travelers since the anti-science anti-vax public-safety-endangering Covidiots left?

Well, yeah, that sucks, but, y’know… science?
