Ted, > Aren't you repeating the same myths promulgated by Sean Hannity and crew? When you can't defend your own position, attack the other side. Defend it? Why? The info has been out there for months. You are choosing to ignore it. We can easily reduce health care costs by doing the one thing Democrats are loathe to do: Put a stop to rampant malpractice lawsuits. There you go......its the same old saw pushed by the Rs and pharm. lobbyists. Why do you always come down on the side of corps. and not people? The truth is the dollar amounts that govern malpractice awards have been reduced dramatically in the big states and it hasn't made a damn bit of difference in terms of health costs.....but it has improved the profit margins of health companies. The rest of the cost reductions will have to come the old-fashioned way: rationing and price controls, especially on pharmaceuticals. Funny thing is that none of these provisions are in the House health care bill. Funny thing....so many of the GOP's talking points have been disproved over the years on this thead. And yet someone with your education still 'falls' for their talking points. Interesting.
