It definitely needs work, but not scrapped..... trzaska2000 Send a noteboard - 29/09/2009 09:16:32 PM
The government will only screw things up if it gets directly involved. Thankfully, the public agrees with this:

If the plan passes, 24% of voters say the quality of care will get better, and 55% say it will get worse. In August, the numbers were 23% better and 50% worse.

Fifty-four percent (54%) say passage of the plan will make the cost of health care go up while 23% say it will make costs go down. In August, 52% thought the plan would lead to higher costs, and just 17% thought it would achieve the stated goal of lowering costs.

From the recent Rasmussen poll.

i have yet to see any evidence of malpractice insurance being a driving cost of health care moondog - 30/09/2009 05:27:34 AM 704 Views
When the malpractice insurance can cost well over $100k a year of course it effects the costs. Brian - 30/09/2009 06:21:29 AM 693 Views
it's not THAT they pay malpractice LadyLorraine - 30/09/2009 02:00:04 PM 552 Views
but doctors are *required* to buy malpractice insurance moondog - 30/09/2009 04:13:08 PM 621 Views
that's completely moot to the situation malpractice insurance causes. LadyLorraine - 30/09/2009 04:21:42 PM 569 Views

That is a decade old and horribly discredited citation Isaac - 29/09/2009 11:46:51 PM 775 Views
regardless, we still spend a lot more on health care while having too many uncovered people moondog - 29/09/2009 11:56:24 PM 595 Views
My objection, in this context, is strictly about references Isaac - 30/09/2009 12:13:40 AM 600 Views
