Socialized Medicine Is Coming

Yes, let's call it "free dumb care". If you consider being put on a waiting list to be "healthcare", Obama and the dems have a great program for you.

Tort reform (loser pays) would be the biggest boost for healthcare that we could ever imagine. However, the trial lawyers are huge contributors to the dems. It will never happen just for that simple reason.

I happen to have several family members who are physicians. They tell me that they have to do many tests and procedures in order to undertake the simplest procedures. The reason is because they and their clinics/hospitals are scared to death of being sued by ambulance chasing attorneys.

Socialized Medicine Is Coming

I have worked on an ambulance crew for over 20 years. The absolute WORST hospital that I visit regularly is the VA hospital. If this is an example of government run healthcare, we are in for a real mess. I wish all of you who are championing a government run system could see what I've seen. Uncaring doctors and nurses, unsanitary conditions, and run down facilities. Not what I want!
