Finally.
Now....How do we get lawyers to pass legislation restricting themselves?
Wow, this is very cool!
Vote them out of office!
For some reason everytime she does something I get a little grin.
First, tort reform. Cost to the taxpayers - exactly zero. Benefit to the taxpayers, about 25 cents reduction per dollar of health care.
Next, insurance competition. Pass a law to enable people to buy insurance across state lines. Cost to the taxpayer - exactly zero. Benefit to the taxpayer, insurance companies are no longer state-supported monopolies; competition brings down rates.
My only question is - if there is tort reform is their guaranteed lowering of health care costs?
The buying insurance across state lines. I forgot about that one. Excellent idea.
I’m a little disappointed, what we really need first is ‘governement meddling in insurance’ reform.
Never the less, this is a good start.
This is why they are determined to destroy her....
I LOVE THIS WOMAN.
GO SARAH GO !!!
I love her for this. This is how she governed in Alaska and I admire her courage to do what has sadly become courageous in these times...simply and directly call upon COMMON SENSE!
I agree. It’s time to do tort reform.
It is not guaranteed, but it is certainly worth trying, as it costs nothing to try.
Other things must also happen, such as: Third. Get the government out of the health care business entirely.
Anecdote: My sister is an occupational therapist, specializing in hands. Her job is to get people restored to functionality after, for example, a stroke. She says she has to spend two hours on government paperwork (most of her patients are on Medicare) for every hour she spends with a patient.
As an aside, she says her best patients are farmers; they are highly motivated to get moving again, because their animals need to be take care of.
I don't have stats handy, but states that have introduced tort reform have seen costs drop accordingly.
Very nicely stated and a very sound argument! (The addendum from Texas is well worth visiting Flopping Aces to read the original article, too!)
But what I especially like is how Sarah is now staking out her conservative terrain! This makes, what, three Facebook declarations in as many weeks? If Sarah takes a weekly shot at the libs on Facebook, we can gain some ground!
Sarah is now presenting the alternatives and counter-proposals that her spineless and voiceless GOP “colleagues” should have been doing all along. Third parties never go anywhere, but I’d be happy to see Sarah take over the gutless party once known as the Republicans!
Go Sarah-cuda! (Just watch your six!)
Now this is the right direction to move our country.
Just this one piece alone, could occur first, and then
once that is in place and seeing results, then challenge
something else.
But not this government take-over-rap..
Obama doesn’t want TORT reform, which is exactly what we need. If this was REALLY about health care and he really wanted to help people, he would bring on tort reform, but this isn’t about health care with Obama, this is about FULL CONTROL, this is about America becoming Europe, which is what he has always wanted. I wake up this morning to see another smack down from the Cuda to Obama. No wonder he keeps on wee weeing himself, poor guy, I don’t think there is a cure for that
“Now....How do we get lawyers to pass legislation restricting themselves?”
Obama has vowed to do or die on this. His supporters whine the Palin poisoned the well but offers no solution. Now Palin shows a way forward that nobody can dispute without further exposing the corruption by ambulance chasers.
The huntress knows that timing is everything: stake out the position, flush out the prey, fire the shot, bull’s eye!
