<<why didn't they put some caps. on malpractice suits so every doctor can't be driven out of business>> Many states including CA have such caps. They have been ineffective in controlling costs.

Those are all liberal ideas and I agree with all of them. What you are forgetting is that Obama is governing from your middl-lol, not on my left. >>Like on healthcare. WHY didn't they eliminate the thing about not being able to buy insurance across state lines and >>why didn't they put some caps. on malpractice suits so every doctor can't be driven out of business by some fly by night tort lawyer? Why didn't they just say that Medicare buys MORE drugs than ALL of Canada so how come Canada can negotiate drug prices but WE can't? Why do the Union guys get a free ride on premium healthcare but the rest of us don't? I DON'T like how they just backed the banks to the hilt without holding ANYBODY responsible. The banks should have been NATIONALIZED and restructured with Glass Steagal put back into place. There should have been "some" criminal charges filed against some of the guys that lent money indescriminately with only profit in mind. In China they would have just rounded up all the bankers that caused this and shot them in the head. In THIS country we bale them out and let them give out billion dollar bonuses. I'm just TICKED about the whole deal and I'm especially ticked about this Whitehouse NOT having any idea how this was going to play out. We could actually LOSE our Democracy and end up with Fascism in this country
