These are bandaids for a seriously broken system.
Tort
reform
could
help the situation but it's going to require it's
own
process.
Tort reform is a red herring. There are enough
states
that
have
passed
tort reform to get a good idea whether it will work
or
not.
Medical
malpractice costs are too small a percentage, roughly
1-1
1/2%,
to
affect
health care costs dramatically. There have also been
many
studies
that
note the tort reform savings do not "trickle down" to
the
consumer.
The fact is, there have been several great suggestions
and
dozens of
admendments/bills introduced that would provide
bipartisan
to
the
bill
and each and every one has been rejected out of hand.
Obama
clearly
promised sunshine on the process but so far all we
have
seen
is
Chris
Dodd's door in Washington and the democrats hiding
behind
it.
Just
like
Monday when Obama spent 2 1/2 hours with the MSM
plotting
an
agenda.
More time by the way than he has spent with his
commanders
in
Afghanistan... I don't hate Obama, just want to see
him
take
his
finger
out of the wind and be a president.
Nope, that's not true. Both houses have listened to and
included
many
Rep.
amendments. Look it up.
Went through this with someone here about two months
ago..
You
are
wrong, period..
Prove it.
Trust me, I am not known for fabrication here... I am not
much
for
going
over hundreds of posts from the past...
Or, you could just cite some sources that back up your
assertion...
that
would save you going over hundreds of posts.
Not so fond of searching youtube either.. I have a bunch of
pics
to
post
for some folks I was photographing at the track today...
But if
I
get
time I will.. While you have time however, you can show me
cites
of
bills or amendments the Dems haven't squashed...

Five seconds worth of google search, including typing:
republican
amendments to health care bill (no quotes).

http://whitenoiseinsanity.com/2009/0...lth-care-bill/
From Slate:

That said, some context: Of the 788 amendments filed, 67
came
from
Democrats and 721 from Republicans. (That disparity drew
jeers
that
Republicans were trying to slow things down. Another
explanation
may
be
that they offered so many so they could later claim-as they
are
now,
in
fact, claiming-that most of their suggestions went unheeded.)
Only
197
amendments were passed in the end-36 from Democrats and 161
from
Republicans. And of those 161 GOP amendments, Senate
Republicans
classify 29 as substantive and 132 as technical.

I hope this helps!

It sure does. It shows that democrats in congress, buy and
large,
are
complacent on the issue and probably haven't even read it.
They
will
rubber stamp anything that is sent to them by king obama. Even
obama
doesn't really give a **** as long as the bill has his name on
top.


It shows that neither of you can support your own arguments.

What argument? Arguing with you would be like arguing with a box
of
rocks.


Then, why do you keep trying? What's dumber than a box of rocks?

A pen name?


Like Tosk?

Uh no.. Tosk is the name I have given to my computer.


A made up name... like a pen name. Got it.

lol

Tosk is not a made up name, Tosk is real... Just ask Tom LOL...


It's made up or it's an Albanian dialect. You pick.

You didn't specify nose or butt. He requires instruction.
