Sarah Palin - using her whip once again

If you write anything nice about Sarah Palin, out will come the lefty banshees doing their dance on red hot coals saying all sort of negative things about Palin and the writer. I love the spectacle they provide. No other woman (or man, for that matter) can give us the pleasure of seeing the Left screeching to high heaven and tearing out clumps of hair (if they have any, that is) the moment you say Sarah Palin. Its like you tip toe softly and quietly behind a leftie's back and then yell "BOO", only the "BOO" is now replaced with just saying the name "Sarah Palin" ever so softly. quote from Palin facebook entry a few hours ago. ....You would think that any effort to reform our health care system would include tort reform, especially if the stated purpose for Obama’s plan to nationalize our health care industry is the current high costs. So I have new questions for the president: Why no legal reform? Why continue to encourage defensive medicine that wastes billions of dollars and does nothing for the patients? Do you want health care reform to benefit trial attorneys or patients? Many states, including my own state of Alaska, have enacted caps on lawsuit awards against health care providers. Texas enacted caps and found that one county’s medical malpractice claims dropped 41 percent, and another study found a “55 percent decline” after reform measures were passed. That’s one step in health care reform. Limiting lawyer contingency fees, as is done under the Federal Tort Claims Act, is another step. The State of Alaska pioneered the “loser pays” rule in the United States, which deters frivolous civil law suits by making the loser partially pay the winner’s legal bills. Preventing quack doctors from giving “expert” testimony in court against real doctors is another reform. Texas Gov. Rick Perry noted that, after his state enacted tort reform measures, the number of doctors applying to practice medicine in Texas “skyrocketed by 57 percent” and that the tort reforms “brought critical specialties to underserved areas.” These are real reforms that actually improve access to health care. Dr. Weinstein’s research shows that around $200 billion per year could be saved with legal reform. That’s real savings. That’s money that could be used to build roads, schools, or hospitals. If you want to save health care, let’s listen to our doctors. There should be no health care reform without legal reform. There can be no true health care reform without legal reform. unquote Sarah Palin Aug 21
