Sarah Plain was born before 1997?
“And we didn't need Sarah Palin to tell us that ... in fact, George Bush made it a central part of his presidential agenda. “
You and who exactly?
Your pals from Daily Kos?
She is not telling you anything.
She is sending a strong message to 0bama, asking the pertinent questions about 0bamacare and tort reform that people like RNC Chair Michael Steel should have been asking since this 0bamacar battle started, and still haven't.
“. It is based on ideology rather than facts, and that is why it should be opposed”
Nope.
0bamacare should be opposed from all angles,including tackling specific issues in the bill,tort reform etc, not just opposed based one ideology alone.
” Insurance itself tends to raise health care prices, in the form of increased overhead and reduction of market forces within the health care economy”
Insurance companies are in direct competition with each other, and would drive prices down if and when the frivolous lawsuits and outrageous awards are eliminated or brought down sharply.
As it is, health insurance costs are just going to keep going up, so long as ambulance chasers like John Edwards are given free reign to suck the blood of Americans every day, with gargantuan awards.
“. The problem is that folks hereabouts seem to think that Sarah Palin’s sudden arrival has transformed the battle; but it has not. She's late to the game, in fact.”
No one in this thread has made the claim that Sarah Palin invented the fight for tort reform. You made that claim yourself, then answered it.
But that doesn't change the fact, that she has focused attention on the tort reform aspect of healthcare, more than anyone else has in this current fight against 0bamacare.
Why else would most of the media be quoting her on tort reform right now?
And why is this thread heading to probably over 200 posts already? You wouldn't even be on this thread if she hadn't attacked 0bamcare on tort reform.
More than likely, we are gonna get some 0bama regime creature come out and respond to this latest salvo from her, as they have on every single issue she has raised about 0bamacre, which will spread the tort reform issue of 0bamare even more.
Remember the “death panel” article? It didn't even take a week for 0bama himself to try and defend himself against it, aided by a massive Palin attack from the 0bamabit media, which only helped spread the “death panel” description even more.
Try getting that kind of reaction from any of our so-called current Republican “leaders”.
“Sarah Plain was born before 1997?”
Should read:
"Sarah Plain was born after 1997?"
Ah, yes. That "argument" is always a sure sign that I'm wasting my time. Buh bye.
