"... Governor Sundquist has initiated unprecedented reforms in Tennessee...the first state in the nation to connect every public school and library to the Internet and to offer universal health care coverage to all children."
That's it? That's the best you have?
Bush is endorsed by a RINO governor from Tennessee who instituted socialized medicine. Therefore, "Bush is an HMO ran Universal Health Care Suoporter."
Do you Bush bashers actually think before you post?
Think with your mind not loyalities. Who was the Bush Patients Bill of Rights writter? What was the senators name and from what state was he from? What is that senators civil profession? What is the family business ties to the health care industry?
If you can answer these question then my post makes all the sense in the world. Some Republicans are HMO shills even one being a doctor/senator is. I know very well where this led too. BTW go to www.hcfa.gov and take a look around. If anyone has half a brain the programs and proposals would or rather should be very disturbing to them. But then again experience is the best teacher. I know first hand where these programs lead.
Now as for the Patients Bill of Rights what should Bush and the GOP have done? Simple! None was needed and it should have never been written. What was written instead was yet another HMO protective bill. All it would have taken would have recinding the protections congress has unconstitutionally granted HMO's and hold them no more or no less equal than any other person or bussiness in a court of law.
Before you say skyrocketing medical cost I support Cap limits on law suits. I support a cap of either a damage award or actual cost of injury for life awards by mistakes HMO's make.
This is one area I know about real well thank you. I have fought against Universal Health Care for 10 years. Mostly against Republicans pushing it sadly enough. Along comes Bush and says good job there Gov Don-R. Problem was he ruined the state health care system and the state budget doing it. I can back that failure up with many an article post in this very forum other wise I would not have posted it. Bush is too HMO friendly. His record speaks for itself on that matter.
