Ann Coulter herself is an attorney. But she doesn't like 'em much. Especially the ones who rip off doctors and send health care costs soaring out of reach. Another good slam at a Democrat constituency group - as usual, Ann's on a roll. Enjoy!

The existence of this woman is a gift.

"Many health care economists," the Times editorialized, say the partisan wrangling over health care masks a bigger problem: "the relatively high salaries paid to American doctors."

That has to be one of the finest written examples of class envy I have seen in a long time. And no acknowledgment of what it takes to become a doctor, no siree. Marx would be so proud of that cheesy editorial writer -- Karl, not Groucho.

I meant to add that I can’t get enough of her wit.

$200,000 is a great salary — until you realize that $100,000 goes to pay the malpractice insurance. (Much higher if you actually deliver babies instead of, say, abort them.)

Doctors start out life as underpaid and overworked grunts. At least they do something to keep us healthy and save lives. We should be writing them letters of appreciation and thanking them for their humanitarian service. Tell me what is it lawyers do for mankind again.

The incompetent and sub-par will always prey on the excellent. Read Atlas Shrugged. While I'm not overwhelmed by Ayn Rand, the predators and parasites that suck the life out of Rearden Steel are symbols of people like trial lawyers and government bureaucrats. Our world would be much better off if we started decorating lampposts with their swinging corpses.

Seems to me the only people who don’t like Ann Coulter are the usual suspects and their sympathizers.

What’s not to like abiut defending doctors (who make our lives better) and slamming trial lawyers (who make greed their only banner)?

****But as the Times would note, doctors in Burkina Faso only get $25 and one goat per year.****

My niece and her husband are christian missionary's in Burkina Faso.

The ultimate Democrat constituent would be a public schoolteacher on welfare who needed an abortion and was suing her doctor.

Oh, wow. That is just so perfect. And absolutely Ann Coulter!

My uncle who was an anesthesiologist (sp) paid $100,000 annually for malpractice insurance 25 years ago. I don’t know if that was average at the time because he was in a burn center and his patience were high risk and were put under more than often than “normal.”

[TASMANIANRED]

Consider the physician with many many years of education, many many long hours of residency, crushing malpractice insurance rates and $200,000 a year.

Then consider the Movie industry...Brainless twits making worthless films based on cartoons or old TV shows making millions each year...and they don’t even have to be High school graduates.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Ann is so correct on this. Doctors do earn their money (the majority of them)...and should be paid well based on their training and sacrifice.

I am sure the Dems and liberal GOP who hate Coulter will deride her. Ann speaks straight up w no bull.

I may have to see a doctor about this. I should probably get on the waiting list now in case Hillary gets elected.

Ann: I am available 24/7. Don't worry about a waiting list!
