A situation is about to be created where doctors will be liable for not doing things which are forbidden.
In Canada, at least when the government cancels your MRI, you can’t sue the doctor for not doing it.
Under HR3200, that’s exactly what will happen.
John Edwards is back in busin
ess.
Ping!
Tort Reform? Taking away $billions from the trial lawyers associations that fund the Democratic Party?
Sarah, you are absolutely correct, but the Democratic lawyers in Washington (Obama, Clinton and Kennedy clan members, et al.) will fall on their collectivist swords before considering Tort Reform.
Actually I think that is "bidnib"
But if you can’t have tons of frivolous lawsuits, how are all the lawyers going to pay for the “one call that’s all” commercials that are on during the TV Judge shows and the Maury Pervich and Jerry Springer shows.
Hilarious isn’t it that all the ads on during those shows are lawyers, fast food, and pawn your car title ads. The ads you see should tell you something about yourself.
Sarah sure can land a body blow! This is going to be as big as the “death panels” meme. She’s got some mighty rhetorical fists!
Do you want healthcare reform to benefit trial attorneys or patients?
Obama is gonna get all wee-weed up today...LOL.
As Tammy Bruce would say, “TYPE, TYPE, SEND” !
GO SARAH !
Health care is no different than any other business, when you have a shortage of doctors and a massive influx of illegal aliens then you have the makings for high prices. Supply and demand are at work. Though there are other problems, repulsively high malpractice insurance, greedy pharmaceutical companies and pricey medical equipment, the problem still largely lies in supply and demand. This is the problem with illegal immigration, they don’t bring any professional abilities with them, they come in the tens of millions to leech off the present professions and government programs, giving nothing back to society.
We are already a bankrupt nation, yet we still allow the madness of unchecked illegal immigration. When are the a-holes in DC going to recognize this problem and put a final end to it?
Let us do a comparison on who is leading our side in the ObamaCare battle:
Palin- stopped “death panels/rationing,” focusing on issues like importance of “tort reform,” and an end to defensive medicine practices.
Romney- tells Obama to “slow down” and to have “bipartisan leadership”
You bots stay on that cruise to ambivalence aboard the SS Romney 2012
Spare me. Just because I don't worship at the alter of Palin, doesn't mean I'm a Romney supporter - in any way, shape or form. If you can find any post I've made that has been supportive of Mitt - in any way - please quote it.
Otherwise, keep your insults to yourself.
Another lightning bolt from Wasilla strikes its target in DC.
It’s all well and good to address the “surface” arguments,
and perhaps in so doing, she can expose that their surface
arguments have little to do with their true goals.
But we who are “out here in the weeds” need to directly confront
the TRUE GOALS of this policy -
total control of the populace through the ability to grant and deny healthcare.
But it's not a problem to them - it's the solution to the problem, which is us.
The people are too stubborn, too conservative, and cling too much to their guns and their religion.
So? Change the people.
When will they put a final end to it? Never.
What ... a call for tort reform is now a "lightning bolt?"
Get real. Folks have been suggesting that for at least the past 20 years. The problem has never been in the suggesting, it's been in the actual doing. Tort reform attempts on the national level have not been notably successful or comprehensive for the usual reasons: party politics and special interests.
It's worth pointing out, however, that the Congressional Republicans did take a stab at it in 2005, and it's been part of the party platform for some time.
It's very nice that Sarah Palin is on-board the tort reform train -- but she didn't invent the idea.
