The biggest problem with medicine today is the lack of tort reform. Too much defensive medicine going on.
Also, we need to allow people to choose death with dignity. Too often the elderly want to check out, but the kids will use any and all methods to keep them alive because they feel guilty they have not been around much for the last two decades.
We need to try these before we give the government that much control over our lives.

Tort reform, show me a state that has tort reform that helped the patient? The insurance companies love it, as it limits the amounts they pay out in malpractice by doctors, but does absolutely nothing to help the patient.
I agree that way to many doctors practice defensive medicine, but tort reform will not stop it, it will be just another corporate giveaway that hurts the public at large.
How does limiting the amount a person can sue for help the average person that was hurt by malpractice? Yes, the doctors get a lower or freeze of malpractice insurance, the insurance companies end out paying less, thereby making more money. But how does the person hurt by malpractice benefit by capping the amount of money they are allowed to receive? They are not, and are force to go on the "dole" to make up the difference.
Please provide a link that shows the people of Texas thinks this is a great idea.
All i gotta do is link to yhe results of our last election where greg abbott destroyed that liberal feminist idiot wendy davis. Yes the people of texas overwhelmingly support what the repubs around here have been doing for the past couple of decades
So a poor candidate makes it the truth? In Nebraska tort reform has been a disaster, the people have giving up their right to redress a wrong, but the insurance companies love it. How about the average person?
I don't necessarily agree with it, but medicine isn't the only thing that's going to be socialized in the next 5-10 years. Between millennials getting boned in every direction and boomers not saving for retirement, socialism is coming. It's inevitable at this point
Maybe not, but Nebraska did not elect Bush Jr, Perry and Cruz for a state job, now did it.
True...and you didn't elect Branstad and Grassley, either.
That's why you're there, right? Be happy. Just don't think that the "Texas way" is the way of the rest of the world.
So no one should be able to do that because most people don't have the financial means to do that?
A category 5 tornado, The Avengers, and George Washington in the flesh couldn't sway oit.
True...and you didn't elect Branstad and Grassley, either.
I have voted for Grassley, never for Branstad. I have yet to figure out how he keeps winning elections, but he does. Grassley was not always in the pocket of his party, he is now in lock step with the conservatives.
Yeah, so I can buy my way to the head of the line for a new kidney? I don't see that happening in the brave new world Obama has laid out for us....
I'm not an expert but I believe there is some sort of national organ registry that takes a variety of factors in consideration to match downers with receivers where wealth is not a consideration. Don't you work in a nursing home? I would think you must come into contact with this more than I. Do you recall a rich old person buying their way to the head of the list?
You can buy a supplemental to MediCare for both healthcare and RX....I would assume so, but usually if insured with another company, they will require you to be signed up with MediCare and they will become your secondary insurer. .
Sill looking for the " free healthcare for all " clause. Nope still don't see it.
Ummmm...catastrophic policies are allowed under the ACA. They're total crap, of course.
No, they're generally not.
Only people under 30 and people of any age with a hardship exemption from the requirement to have health insurance can avoid the individual mandate by purchasing a catastrophic health insurance policy.

So. What?
Actuaries do EXACTLY the same thing for insurance companies.You think doctors are making those calls? That's funny.
No, I was right. I can't buy a catastrophic health insurance plan to avoid the individual mandate. Can you?
