The majority of Republicans and Democrats agree that health care aides and nurses are underpaid, according to a new study by the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research released on Monday.

While nearly seven in 10 Americans trust doctors and nurses to make the best decisions for them and their families, 59 percent of those surveyed think that nurses are underpaid and 61 percent believe that health care aides also deserve to be paid more.

The poll also found that just 11 percent of Americans believe that doctors are underpaid, with half of the respondents saying that they are paid fairly for their work.

Americans on both sides of the aisle mostly agreed on doctors' pay, with 36 percent of Democrats saying that doctors are overpaid and 37 percent of Republicans believing the same.

2. Nursing pay is very flat

My daughter was making pretty good money when she started in 2017. She is a charge nurse now not making that much more, and those who have been there far longer still aren't making much more than her.

3. Hospitals are for profit corporations

Everything is the bottom line. Personnel are profit robbing line items. Keep pay down, keep staffing at bare minimum. Increases in pay and staffing levels means the big guys bonuses are smaller.
