#1 The one thing that puzzles me (not really) is that in all this talk about "fixing" health insurance, a major insurance component of health care costs is never mentioned.

Where is the government run MALPRACTICE insurance program that will provide MDs with much cheaper insurance so that they can pass along savings? Why is this beast not attacked in the same way that the drug companies are about THEIR high costs?

Yes, I do know why.

#2 There is no talk of tort reform, which in turn will lower malpractice insurance (a major cost) and defensive diagnostic tests.

You would not expect congress to do this because they are a bunch of lawyers that have done very well leaching off the public.

#3 Follow the money, dudes. The trial lawyers are the biggest $$$ donors to the Dems.

As to Obambi, the way things are going for him it will soon be the case that his most loyal-- perhaps only loyal-- constituency (outside of afr-amers and academics) is public employee labor unions.

You can expect the next stim to be little more than a slush fund to Obambi's shock troops at the SEIU and the NEA. Don't forget California's prison guards, either: note that Arnold diverted $1.9B of the $6.7B in stim funds dedicated to CA education to CA prisons.

More votes for the decent folk!

#4 You are, of course, assuming that the Healthcare bills are about reforming healthcare.

Its not - its about literally assuming power over people's lives.

Anyone remember when the Dems (and their MSM lackeys) terrorized seniors saying that the Repub's plan would slash Social Security and force Seniors to eat catfood - even when the plan called for a 7% Cost of Living increase?

Just wait until they can literally make the same threat against peoples lives via Healthcare.

#5 National Healthcare is nationalising the bodies of everyone in the country.

They will literally own YOU.
