What he doesn’t tell you is that McAllen, TX is in the Rio Grande valley, right on the US/Mexico border, and that it’s full of foreign nationals taking advantage of our generous system.

How do you know a liberal is lying?

His lips are moving.

No, thats not it. Dr. Gawande went there and wrote an article about the high costs. Most of it is doctor greed by ordering unnecessary costs to pad their pockets.

parsy, who will send you a link

Here’s the link. On page three of this article is a link to the “gawande” article. He went to McAllen and talked to the doctors himself. On page 29 is an exhibit which shows the medmal insurance premiums paid by year since 1975 and the related payouts. These numbers are from the insurance companies themselves.

This is probably the first time anyone has ever provided you with the actual numbers, so my question is, why haven’t any of the supporters of tort reform ever bothered to give people the actual dollar amount of this horrible scourge?

parsy, who says you have been played
