President Obama responds to Congressman Burgess' question about reforming medical justice during a virtual White House town hall on health care reform.
Obama and his cronies are fools, especially when it comes to health care reform. Thank God for Dr. Burgess. He is a good example of a politician who is in touch with his constituents concerns.
And I would agree. In Texas, "sane" people who can think for themselves and not be swayed by the coolest slogan of the moment outnumber idiots who mindlessly voted a demagogue into office; that's why it was a red state last election!
Here in Texas (and most other places), whether you have coverage or not, you are free to go to the ER for whatever ails you and they cannot refuse you treament. Those of us who have coverage, and pay for it, will take up your slack. Your statement, as far as I can tell, indicates that you feel entitled to some higher standard of health care even if it's on someone else's dime. I'm not up for paying any more than I already do for you! Nobody owes you anything!
Perhaps not, but for serious cases, such as cancer, it can be life saving. I know because I have a family member who is going through the diagnostics right now. There is no substitute for the shared knowledge of a team!
Capping UNNECESSARY malpractice suits to lower costs, I believe was the question. Doctors "PRACTICE" medicine, they are not know all gods. There is a differenece between a mistake and gross negligence. Never heard an answer. Further Obama discusses "incentivizing" coordinated care yet gives no effective method for doing this. Who rated this five stars!?!
The evidence he used to support Mayo Clinic... There's no way that every hospital could feasibly recruit a team of doctors for every patient. It's impractical. That and there's a shortage of doctors, like teachers. There's like no incentive to be one anymore.

As a Texan I would really, really like to apologize to the rest of the world for your politicians.
Our sane people are outnumbered by stupid rednecks that listen to Rush Limbaugh and vote accordingly.
