Regardless of what political perspective people come from, most could agree the president is a smart man. Too smart to believe his proposal will work, as advertised, without raising taxes.
They're hoping need will outweigh common sense once the true cost is seen.
My 'tort reform' argument is simple: Without lowering the delivery costs any
solution only works long as doctors can afford to participate. Basically, their planning to make private practice unaffordable and drive everyone into hospitals.
Al Gore cast the deciding vote to kill tort reform. True, it shouldn't have came down to him but he still had a chance to do what's right.
Politicians are all whores unworthy of trust.
