"Lastly, there are common sense steps we can take to reduce medical malpractice premiums. We can weed out frivolous lawsuits by requiring that a qualified specialist certifies a medical malpractice case’s merit before it moves forward. We can make the system fairer by preventing and punishing frivolous lawsuits..."

I swear, you just can't make this stuff up. LOL!

What a load of B.S.!

I think that, more than anything, the New Soldier is trying to point out how there are two Americas -- the one the speeches are about and the one we really are. Rhetoric has blinded us so much that we are unable to see the realities which exist in this country.
From "The New Soldier" by John Kerry.

"All across our country, jobs have moved overseas, where the cost of health care isn’t nearly as high."

Anyone who thinks that socialized medicine is such a nifty idea should be made to spend some time in a country that has it.

Lastly, there are common sense steps we can take to reduce medical malpractice premiums.

And by electing Kerry, we can guarentee John Edwards will not be filing any more frivious lawsuits for at least 4 more years.

Kerry pretends to be for the little guy while helping out his rich corporate buddies. Nationalized health care will remove a huge financial burden from corporations, which will drop to the bottom line and then into the pockets of Kerry and his friends.

The MSM had their talking points this morning focused on increased poverty numbers and an increase of those without health care. Get ready, HillaryCare has left the station and is headed to a town near you.

That is a lock.

Mother recently died in my house, of the effects of Alzheimers. The bad news is that, had she not had significant savings, she would have been made indigent by the expense of medicine - if she also were not supported by her family. The good news is that some of the medicines she took kept her together for years.

The good news of CanadaCare for America would be that those medicines would not have cost as much. But the bad news is that the pharmaceutical companies would not have the money and incentive to develop better medicines in the same way that in the past they developed the medicines that in fact helped Mother.

Socialism is second guessing. After "the means of production" has already been created, then the socialist is a hero about taking credit for that creation (a.k.a. "ownership" of it) from the creator to the government (meaning, themselves). But since second guessing is only possible after the fact, socialism implicitly denies - and, given authority, negates - the possibility of future progress.

That's why they call it "progressive." </sarcasm>
