Here he is again…Mr. Health Fair! Tort Reform…hmmmn that will take care of 0.6% of the problem. How about breaking the unjust Monopoly that Health Insurance companies have on the health care industries? No, that would be horribly unfair. Let’s just extend the Monopoly across state lines so Blue Cross of California can compete with Blue Cross of Arizona!!!!!!!! Surely that will bring down costs! Do not be fooled. The only way to level the playing field is through a Public Plan. Movin’ on.
tort reform is a red herring – it’s a minor part of costsHere in Texas the insurance companies told us we had to make it impossible to drive on the roads w/ out auto insurance by requiring it on registration & making the fines extremely high if anyone didn’t have insurance.In exchange they promised us the rates would go down. Do I have to tell you how that worked out.Then the health ins companies promised if we put in tough tort reform, ins costs would go down. Do I have to tell you…
Finally we are addressing Tort reform!!!
Great video, please free the free market from hobbling of the government-commerce across state lines, portable insurance, loser pays in medical lawsuits (but not caps, likely), re-examine all the wacky micromanaging by big gov over the years that may have unintended consequences.I’m not saying gov should NOT regulate market.Stop spreading deliberate dysfunction to create crisis, and excuse to intervene and seize more taxes from Americans. And appease trial lawyers, Sebelius is a former TL btw.
There is a trend in countries that have a single payer healthcare plan for patients to seek medical treatment outside the established system . My immediate concern is about the absence of quality indicators and oversight in this scenario. Makes one wonder what the actual infection rates are in these nations. I’ve not read any details on how the proposed health care reform bill will improve quality of care. Can you describe how the Republican alternatives would improve the quality of care?
