    You don't read very well. I agreed that tort reform would help a lot.

    Thank you for your thoughtfilled post.

    But you did not address my questions.

    See what labor unions do to folks? It makes them so very ungrateful...

    No it won't.

    It will lead to a system collapse.

    Follow me here: The legislation is going to "outlaw pre-existing conditions." Kind of like having your house catch fire, and while it's burning, and the truck's coming, you call and put more coverage on the structure. In addition, there will be penatlies for non-insurance...but these are likely to be low enough that people who are healthy will simply pay the fine...then when they get sick, they'll get insurance.

    This will send insurance companies belly-up in a matter of months...since their expenses will be several times more than their income. Not that it matters...because even if you do have insurance, the number of doctors that will quit will cause such a shortage so as to make for interminable waits.


    Not exactly the "cure" you hoped for, eh?




    On the brighter side, I do agree with you on tort reform. I guess New Orleans did freeze over.
