When asked what the t-potty's plan for health care reform, $arah answered -

The plan is to allow those things that have been proposed over many years to reform a health-care system in America that certainly does need more help so that there’s more competition, there’s less tort-reform threat, there’s less trajectory of the cost increases. And those plans have been proposed over and over again. And what thwarts those plans? It’s the far left. It’s President Obama and his supporters who will not allow the Republicans to usher in free-market, patient-centered doctor-patient relationship … to reform health care.

"... tort reform ..."???

Scary part is, rw's actually think she makes sense.

From a friend this morning -

Bold text added to highlight typically Palinesque non sequitur. Just what does “less tort-reform threat” mean in this context? Tort reform is the effort to limit the damages and awards that folks can get through the civil justice system. In previous proclamations, Palin has pronounced herself in favor of tort reform as a means to fixing our health-care system. And it just so happens that she also frowned upon a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June 2009 that reduced the punitive damages in the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. This is what then-Gov. Palin had to say:

“I am extremely disappointed with today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. While the decision brings some degree of closure to Alaskans suffering from 19 years of litigation and delay, the court gutted the jury’s decision on punitive damages.”

It’s unfair to expect Lauer to question Palin on the consistency of her tort-reform positions.

Yet he certainly could have and should have stopped his interviewee, a Fox News contributor, when she said this in response to a question about Obamacare’s troubled Web site: “The broken Web site is the least of America’s worries. This broken Web site, I think, is symbolic of a broken administration: The takeover of one-sixth of our economy and the socialized medicine that’s being crammed down our throat — that’s what’s broken.”

Bold text added to highlight deliberately misleading material. Yes, Obamacare institutes fresh regulations in the health-care arena; yes, Obamacare imposes a penalty on people who don’t get insured; and no, there’s nothing “socialized” about it, as all the recent tales of people dealing with their insurance companies so clearly indicate.

“Today” and other shows that care about their news product need a buzzer for these kinds of moments.

==================

Related, I just saw a news segment saying that Koch and other big money is on campuses with that creepy "doctor" thing they used in their lying TV spots. They're doing tailgate parties at football games and handing out propaganda along with food.

My bet is that kids will fall for this.

Tort reform has been used by the GOP for decades, but when they were in power no bills were passed to curb torts, why would they? The Congress is made up of many lawyers and attorneys.

Tort reform has been tried with regards to ACA?


Tort reform is also proposed as one solution to rapidly increasing health care costs in the United States.

In a study published in 2005 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 93% of physicians surveyed reported practicing defensive medicine, or "[altering] clinical behavior because of the threat of malpractice liability."

Of physicians surveyed, 43% reported using digital imaging technology in clinically unnecessary circumstances, which includes costly MRIs and CAT scans. Forty-two percent of respondents reported that they had taken steps to restrict their practice in the previous 3 years, including eliminating procedures prone to complications, such as trauma surgery, and avoiding patients who had complex medical problems or were perceived as litigious.

This practice restriction hits rural areas especially hard, as small towns find themselves without practitioners in high-risk areas such as obstetrics and emergency medicine, or practices without competition as physicians consolidate into single practices to distribute the high costs of malpractice insurance premiums.

Has nothing to do with Palin...Luddly is just using her as a tool in order to discredit one very valid reason WHY health care is so costly.

And Republicans have been saying this for years...But Democrats shoot it down because for one, they are a bunch of worthless lawyers, and two, they make their money off the backs of suing our medical and health Care...THAT IS ONE reason our health care is so high...People should open their eyes and be ticked off at Democrats...but people aren't that informed enough to care how they steer them with their propaganda...so we get OfailCare instead

So, then, what is the GOP alternative plan for healthcare reform? How would they insure people who couldn't get insured under the former rules? How would they deal with rising healthare costs? How would they deal with pre-existing conditions? I haven't seen a GOP alternative to the ACA and I think its because the ACA was their alternative until Obama supported it; it was the plan put forth by the Heritage Foundation as an alternative to Hilarycare, and the severely conservative governor of Massachussettes instituted it in that state with resounding success.

It's not the Federal Government JOB to see to it everyone is Insured...Some people don't want insurance until a later time in their lives..that was their RIGHT

that is what you people don't seem to get...this country is hopeless this how the people in it feel it's up to this government AND political parties to take CARE of every aspect of their lives

this is how WE lose our FREE country and stop being a FREE PEOPLE

the health insurance CEO Gazillionaires would come up w/ something given their benevolence lol. Repubs ONLY offer alternatives to the status quo when they can't squirm out of it. Remember, they had COMPLETE control of the gubmint for 6 yrs and what did they do? Start unpaid-for, decade long wars.
