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.

BTW he did not institute it. It was a Dem governor 10 years ago who did along with help from Gore and Hillary Clinton. And name me the two U.S. Senators who yearly go to HCFA to seek it's continued funding and their party affilation. Sundquist had 8 years to stop it. Senators Frist and Thompson could have stopped by refusing to seek appropiations from HCFA but all refused and instead chose to further fund it's damage.

There is no doubt that Sundquist ruined the both Tennessee economy and the reputation of the good Republicans in the state. My brother lives in Nashville and told me that people were moving from Kentucky just to live in Tennessee for the "free health care." Sundquist's low popularity and bad policies are reasons why Bush would not campaign with him in 2000.

My point is that you "proved" Bush was in favor of certain legislation simply because a person who favored those ideas endorsed him.

If this is how we define polititians, how would we label Pat Buchanan who was endorsed by skin-heads and racists?
