I read Shawn Macomber’s piece on the Web sites that serve constituencies of supporters of the Dean campaign with interest. He writes, “one wonders how they will take re-entry into civil society if their hero crashes and burns.”
Obviously, he has not done his research because we have a mission statement, a vision statement and a statement of purpose that clearly explains that our goal is to promote and achieve positive change in healthcare:
This encompasses all areas of human existence that impact health and well-being. Specific goals within this larger mission include access to healthcare for all residents of the United States, equitable distribution of healthcare resources, a healthcare system that both reflects and respects the diversity of American society, and an emphasis in healthcare policy and planning on health promotion, disease prevention, adequate housing, and healthy lifestyles.
I suggest that we are not a “bizarre website” as described in the article, nor do we see a halo around Dr. Dean’s head. As nurses, we’ve worked with too many doctors to think that M.D. stands for Major Deity.
We are a diverse group of nurses who work hard, pay taxes and have seen the inequities in the current healthcare system. Since Howard Dean has made healthcare work in Vermont, we know he understands the issues as someone not in the trenches of healthcare simply cannot, and we support his candidacy. Period.
