Podcast appearances and mentions of suzanne gordon

Trump is conducting an assault on any program that is good and helpful, and while we would like to talk about them all, we have to focus. Today, Suzanne Gordon and Russell Lemle of the Veterans Health Policy Institute join Bruce Carruthers of the Veterans for Peace Save Our VA (SOVA) working group to discuss trump and musk's assault on the VA and its impact not only on Veterans but on the US in general. After all, if they can hurt veterans and the VA, you know they are going to hurt YOU and Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and more.

The Heidi Glaus Show 3-21-25: Suzanne Gordon, Mike Ward, and Brendan Wiese by

The Trump administration is attempting an attack on federal workers at every agency and is allowing Elon Musk access to sensitive data. Federal workers are organizing and fighting back. In less than two months, one federal worker union, AFGE, has gained over 16,000 new members compared to 7,400 new members in all of 2024. Clearing the FOG speaks with Suzanne Gordon of the Veterans Healthcare Policy Institute about what is at stake and what workers are doing to resist efforts to force them out of their jobs. Gordon also explains why the Veterans Health Administration is a model of health care for the country and the work the VA does to benefit everyone. For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.

Eric Mann in Conversation with Steve Early and Suzanne Gordon on their new book, Our Veterans: Winners, Losers, Friends and Enemies on the New Terrain of Veterans Affairs. Channing Martinez on keeping the department of defense out of LAUSD Eric Mann: Fire Tom Thibodeau This week on Voices Podcast Eric speaks with Suzanne Gordon and Steve Early about the ins and out of Veterans. Together they speak about the crises of being recruited through a false pretense of promises into the US military industrial complex, only to be sent all over the world to commit war crimes on behalf of the US. Suzanne speaks about the VA system as a model for healthcare for all and speaks about the impact of PTSD on all soldiers. Steve speaks about the movement of veterans advocacy organizations. Steve also speaks about the role of JROTC recruitment in communities of color. We think this is a very important book that dives into a lot of detail in the whole VA system and recommend everyone purchase a copy. You can do so here: As a quick follow up Channing speaks about the fighting against department of defense Starbase program in LAUSD's Black Student Achievement program. We're excited to announce that BSAP rejected the DoD application, but more work need to be done to end all DoD ties to LAUSD including ending JROTC and ROTC altogether. To round off the show Eric speaks about the New York Knicks' coach Tom Thibodeau. Many of the starting players are placed on the floor for almost the 48 mins of the game while all stars Cam Reddish and Obi Toppin sit on the bench for 12 GAMES STRAIGHT…

Suzanne Gordon's new book “Our Veterans” explores the question: have we failed our service members? Though the VA Healthcare system is a great resource, too many veterans are unable to access it. Gordon exposes our society's insufficient care for the men and women who've served our country and offers solutions to help right these wrongs.

Ralph invites political psychologist Dr. Drew Westen back to the program to give his analysis of what happened in the midterm elections. What the Dems did right and what they still do wrong. And we also welcome back labor journalist, Steve Early, co-author of “Our Veterans: Winners, Losers, Friends, and Enemies on the New Terrain of Veterans Affairs.”Dr. Drew Westen  is a clinical, personality, and political psychologist and neuroscientist, and Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry at Emory University. Dr. Westen is the author of The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation and is the founder of Westen Strategies, a strategic messaging consulting firm. He has advised a range of candidates and organizations, from presidential and congressional campaigns to major progressive organizations to the House and Senate Democratic Caucuses.Normally, within the first couple of years of a president's administration, he's usually picking up from where the last president left things— which is usually with a bad economy. And voters blame the new president for it, and that's why you see these historic midterm effects where the party in power usually gets killed. And this time, the Democrats didn't get killed. Let's give them that first.Dr. Drew WestenDemocrats have trouble figuring out that if you just speak honestly as a populist, you can win anywhere… Because people know when they're getting screwed. And they know when somebody has their back. And they know when someone is speaking honestly to them. Dr. Drew WestenAll politicians—with very few exceptions— flatter the voters. When do we say, “It's the voter's responsibility”? That they have exerted a wave of masochistic voting against their own interest?Ralph NaderSteve Early is a lawyer, organizer, union representative, and labor journalist. He is the author of Refinery Town: Big Oil, Big Money, and the Remaking of an American City, and co-author, with Suzanne Gordon and Jasper Craven, of Our Veterans: Winners, Losers, Friends, and Enemies on the New Terrain of Veterans Affairs.One of the great things about the VA is that a third of the VA caregiving workforce is veterans themselves. So you have this unique culture of solidarity and empathy, connection between patients and providers. You don't find that at Kaiser, or Sutter, or UnitedHealth, or any of the other big for-profit or nonprofit healthcare chains. So this is a real national treasure that needs to be defended.Steve Early, author of Our Veterans: Winners, Losers, Friends, and Enemies on the New Terrain of Veterans Affairs Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Why do America’s veterans have to beg for help on TV ads? How is it that our government refuses to pay the true costs of war? On this show, senior veterans policy analyst Suzanne Gordon talks about the new book The post Veterans are Poorly Treated Pentagon Employees appeared first on Keeping Democracy Alive.

“Support our troops” is a familiar slogan heard when American troops are deployed abroad.But are returning soldiers supported when they return home? Nearly half of troops returning from post-9/11 deployments report having reintegration problems, almost double the number reported by earlier veterans. Former President Donald Trump tapped into this vein of discontent and won 60% of the veterans' vote in 2016. Political radicalization among veterans has been a growing problem, and a shocking number of veterans were among the insurrectionists at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.Investigative reporter Jasper Craven has been exploring veterans' and military issues for publications including the New York Times, Mother Jones, The Atlantic and VTDigger. In a 2018 investigative series for VTDigger, he exposed the toxic culture of the Vermont Air National Guard, leading to Gov. Phil Scott to call for a review of Guard policies. This spring, he wrote an expose for Mother Jones on neglect and abuse at Valley Forge Military Academy in Pennsylvania, a prestigious school that counts among its alumni Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, architect of the first Gulf War. Craven also writes a newsletter, Battle Borne, about veterans' issues.Craven, who is originally from Vermont, has a new book, “Our Veterans: Winners, Losers, Friends, and Enemies on the New Terrain of Veterans Affairs,” co-written with Suzanne Gordon and Steve Early. The book explores the impact of military service and the challenges that veterans encounter when they return to civilian life. “The full cost of war has rarely been considered, or properly calculated, by architects of the forever warfare that continues today,” Craven and his co-authors concluded.

Suzanne Gordon joins this episode to talk about how she encourages others to speak up with elected officials to ensure the VA is properly funded into the future. She also shares her advice for choosing the right charity to support when your goal is to help our military veterans.

We're witnessing the largest war in Europe since World War II, as Russia invades Ukraine. At the moment, U.S. troops are not directly involved in the conflict, but it has got us thinking about the healthcare that military personnel receive, particularly after they're discharged and rejoin civilian life. There is no one better to talk with about veterans' healthcare than our guest Suzanne Gordon. Suzanne Gordon is an award-winning journalist and author. She has written for The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and many other publications. She is also the author or co-author of 22 books including, most recently, Wounds of War: How the VA Delivers Health, Healing, and Hope to the Nation's Veterans.  She also wrote The Battle for Veterans' Healthcare: Dispatches from the Frontlines of Policy Making and Patient Care. Show Notes Most of us who aren't veterans don't know much about the Veterans Administration. Why should Medicare for All supporters learn more about the VA? The Veterans Health Administration (one of three branches of the Department of Veterans Affairs) is the largest healthcare system in the country, and the only publicly funded, fully integrated and coordinated healthcare system in the country. While Medicare for All is a payment method only, the VA is both a payer and a provider, which allows them to create innovative new models of care. Suzanne reminds us that the VA essentially invented geriatric care, put PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) on the map in response to the Vietnam War, and developed models of palliative care. The VA is also a major hub for healthcare professional teaching system. It's also the biggest research hub after the National Institutes of Health. Finally, the VA serves as backup to the civilian healthcare system in times of emergency. Accessing care from the VA is not automatic for veterans. They have to meet certain thresholds, which essentially results in the VA caring for the sickest and poorest veterans. Then - despite the fact that this is an expensive population to treat - the VA provides those patients with better quality care at a lower cost than average Americans with private insurance receive. The VA is both a publicly-funded and publicly delivered healthcare system, much like the way healthcare is provided through the NHS in the UK. This is what the right likes to call "Socialized Medicine." The VA model allows more coordinated care and innovation that are nearly impossible in the fragmented, profit-driven private healthcare system. You might even say it's a model for a healthcare for all system nationally. Behind the Covert Campaign to Privatize the VA Like any well-functioning, efficient public program, profit-driven forces are trying to privatize the VA. Much like efforts to privatize Medicare and public schools, these folks are using the same playbook to privatize and profit off of the VA. They claim the public system doesn't work, they blame public employees, and assert that the private sector is the only way to provide the service well. They advocate for legislation that moves more people into private sector services, starving the public services of resources. VA privatization efforts originated with funding from the Koch Brothers. They're joined by the pharmaceutical industry who doesn't want to have to negotiate drug prices with the VA. (Medicare is legally prohibited from negotiating drug prices, and Pharma has fought every effort to change that, because it essentially allows them to set prices as high as they like.) Healthcare profiteers all want a chance at the pot of gold that is the VA Health Administration. They've spent millions to infiltrate the right wing media sphere as well as the mainstream media like the New York Times, NPR and Washington Post, and discredit the VA. The VA is the most accountable healthcare system in the country.

Author and medical journalist Suzanne Gordon discusses nursing in the profit driven American health care system

VA healthcare discussion

Suzanne Gordon is an American journalist and author who writes about healthcare delivery and healthcare systems and patient safety and nursing. Among her many books is Wounds of War - How the VA Delivers Health, Healing, and Hope to the Nation's Veterans (2018). Ms. Gordon discusses the VA healthcare administration system with Drs. Mike Flynn and Gene Shively

We begin by talking about the VA and their reluctance to acknowledge the disaster of burn pits. We share an article by Suzanne Gordon on the disaster of VA privatization. We commend the new Defense Secretary on his initial push to identify sexual misconduct in the military. Then we discuss Biden's missteps with regard to Russia and linking the new Start Treaty with allegations of Russian interference in 2016 and then finally comment on the possibility and the insanity that Biden will increase our number of troops in Iraq. We finish with Graham Nash' Military Madness.

Suzanne Gordon, journalist and author of “Wounds of War - How the VA delivers health, healing, and hope for the nation’s veterans”, joins us for a discussion on her book and all things veterans health.  We discuss the nation’s veteran suicide epidemic, with the understanding that only 9 million of America’s 22 million veterans qualify for VHA (healthcare arm of the VA) care, meaning 14 out of 20 veterans who take their lives couldn’t have received help from the VA.  We also discuss the fear surrounding the MISSION Act (now the umbrella for all the VHA’s community care programs), wondering how much of a blow it may cause to VHA care as a whole.

Instead perhaps of talking about Medicare for All, we should be talking about Veterans Affairs Health Care for All, a system that resembles what we see in Europe. Today we are in conversation with journalist Suzanne Gordon about the history of the VA, how it works and the efforts to privatize it. Guest: Suzanne Gordon is a journalist, author and speaker with special expertise in healthcare systems. She has been covering health care issues for more than thirty years.  She is the author of the book  Wounds of War: How the VA Delivers Health, Healing, and Hope to the Nation's Veterans.

What's America's largest public healthcare system?  It's not Medicare, which isn't a provider of healthcare, just a payer.  It's the Veterans Health Administration, which looks after nine million ex-service members.  Healthcare journalist Suzanne Gordon discusses why we should care about the Veterans Health Administration – and the push to privatize it.

"Wounds of War highlights what the average American rarely gets to see in the news media but what veterans know first-hand: day in and day out--and with little fanfare--the Veterans Health Administration provides high quality, patient centered care to millions of our nation's veterans". -- U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders

She is the co-editor of the Culture and Politics of Health Care Work series at Cornell University Press. Wounds of War: How the VA Delivers Health, Healing, and Hope to the Nation’s Veterans. U.S. military conflicts abroad have left nine million Americans dependent on the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) for medical care. Their “wounds of war” are treated by the largest hospital system in the country—one that has come under fire from critics in the White House, on Capitol Hill, and in the nation’s media. The resulting public debate about the future of veterans’ health care has pitted VHA patients and their care-givers against politicians and policy-makers who believe that former military personnel would be better served by private health care providers.Suzanne_Gordon_Wounds_of_War.mp3

Bob Dreyfuss reports on the lawyers on both sides of the Russia investigations, starting with Mark Kasowicz, Trump’s longtime personal attorney, who is also working for Russian bankers connected to the meeting with Don Jr. at Trump Tower. Also: the deep challenges facing Trump's legal team. Plus: Amy Wilentz with The Children's Hour: news about Don Jr., Jared, Ivanka, and Eric—boy, are those kids in trouble this week! One big question: Why were Jared and Ivanka partying with Chuck Schumer in the Hamptons last week? And Suzanne Gordon argues, in the wake of the Republicans' failure to repeal or replace Obamacare, that the VA provides a strong example of healthcare for America—better in many ways than Medicare for all.

Jörg Brambring und Christoph Jaschke berichten im Interview über die außerklinische Beatmung und den 6. MAIK - den Münchener Außerklinischen Intensiv Kongress - am 08./09. November 2013. LINKS: * Hier entlang geht's zur Website vom MAIK 2013. * Desweiteren erwähnt Herr Brambring im Interview noch die DIGAB, die Deutsche Interdisziplinäre Gesellschaft für Außerklinische Beatmung. Die DIGAB ist eine berufsgruppenübergreifende Fachgesellschaft, nicht etwa eine Fachgesellschaft für Intensivpflege, wie es in einem Statement von Dr. Wolfram Windisch in der Sendung FAKT vom MDR dargestellt wird. Einen interessanten Kommentar zu dieser Sendung hat Professor Bernd Reuschenbach von der Katholischen Stiftungsfachhochschule München auf seinem Blog www.Pflegewissenschaft.org . * Die beiden Herren aus München berichten über ihre Zeitschrift, die "Gepflegt Durchatmen". Die ist wirklich sehr ansehnlich, informativ und liebevoll gemacht. Unbedingt ansehen! Und wo wir beim Thema Kommunikation sind: Ich weiß nicht, ob ich das Buch hier schon mal empfohlen habe, macht auch nix, dann tu ich's eben wieder: Der Pflege eine Stimme geben von Bernice Buresh und Suzanne Gordon, ein wichtiges Buch. Wurde vor vielen Jahren schon im ZWAI-Forum von Herrn Wombat völlig zu Recht dringend empfohlen... * Noch ganz kurz ein interessanter Veranstaltungstip, geklaut von Bernd Reuschenbachs Blog: Der Intensive Care Power Kongress 2014 Sex And Drugs And Rock'n'Roll am 02./03. Oktober 2014 in Dornbirn im österreichischen Vorarlberg. Ist mal was anderes... * Und weil auch die Problematik resistenter Keime kurz angesprochen wurde, hier noch ein Link auf die saarländische Initiative www.MRSAar.net. Ein interessanter Ansatz, aktuell sollen alle Bewohner der Pflegeheime gescreent werden. SHOWNOTES: Aus dem Podsafe Music Network www.musicalley.com: Chester Bay mit "Get Free", Holley Maher mit "Odd Place To Be" und Adam Hoek mit "Breathe". FEEDBACK: * Bitte per eMail an intensivRS@gmail.com oder im ZWAI-Forum Schreibt mir Eure Themenwünsche!

Suzanne Gordon speaks about her research into the Near Death Experience (NDE) something she has experienced herself.  During the interview she listed off some things reported as after effects to the NDE. Everything on this checklist closely matches what is being reported by people who claim UFO abductions, enough so that I realized I needed to talk with her. She even described these folks as suffering from the trauma of enlightenment, that was something that really hit home for me. The audio posted here wasn't meant to be a public podcast, it was just our initial hello after exchanging a few emails. By the end of two hours we both realized that we had achieved something really powerful. I am amazed at how deep we managed to dig during our conversation and I am so glad I recorded it. During our conversation she uses an acronym I had never heard before, but I like a lot. She referred to STEs (Spiritually Transformative Experiences).  (link)
