There was a radio program on a Philadelphia talk station on Friday. It was hosted by two Democrats, at least one of them was a lawyer.

The topic of the program was tort reform. The hosts were spewing lies and taking Democrat callers who were trying to argue that if you limited the amount of suing going on in the health care industry, then the "doctors and nurses would sit around on their a$$es" and not help patients. I know this sounds like I am making it up, but I am not. I believe the station was 1210 on the AM dial (WPHT) - so someone can back me up on this.

In the Democrat fantasy world, it is only the trial lawyers who are our saviors. Doctors, nurses, and health care workers wouldn't lift a finger without the threat of billions and billions in lawsuits (that ambulance chasers like John Edwards used to build his mansions, beach houses, and lairs for his whores).

Unbelievable.

The trial lawyers, in turn, give millions to the Democrats.

I can't believe that so many Americans are so stupid.

Aren’t those patients profiled in the article lucky?

Under Obamacare and the death panels, they probably would never have been allowed to receive those treatments in the first place, since the first consideration of the death panels would be the cost-effectiveness of the treatments, not quality of life for the patient.

Instead, their insurance companies allowed them to get the treatments, up until they reached their lifetime cap.

(I suspect that a decimal point was left out of the hemophiliac’s yearly cost, or an extra zero was put in. $800,000 per year to treat a fairly common disorder seems excessive.)

Actually Obama is hurting the poor. He is raising the price of their water and food. He raised the price of their health care premiums. And Obama was trying to make homes unafordable to them (through heavy handed Environmental legislation).

This is Obama's Achilles heel, that he is hurting the poor so badly. Many of the poor are asking 'What has he done for us?' since he has increased unemployment to horrendous levels and not paid their rent and utilities (as promised on the campaign trails).

Seniors are deeply concerned about Medicare Cuts and that Social Security is Bankrupt.

Obama is loosing too much of his constituency - the poor and seniors. He should be concerned.

Is there something “caring” about providing an insurance card when there is no actual healthcare behind it?
