Hi Neo, Interesting posts regarding health care. The thing that strikes me about people proposing sweeping overhaul of our health care is they never seem to address TORT reform as a part of the process of reigning in costs. Without TORT reform, whether we had a government system or partially privatized one, our system would cost more due to the free reign we give lawyers to milk the system and sui, sui, sui. Some suits are warranted of course, but the pendulum has swung grossly to the side of giving lawyers every opportunity possible to extort money from our health care system. It's a travesty, and no doubt our lack of political will to reform TORT laws has to due with the millions of PAC dollars flowing into congress's back pocket. Term limits is what we need. With term limits the influence of PAC dollars is lessoned. With term limits people can serve a few years and go back to their normal life, knowing they will be effected by the legislation they passed.
