WRONG!The keys to the GOP reform proposal then, as it is now, is dumping everyone into the individual insurance market (where insurance companies can cherry-pick the healthiest and deny policies to everyone else) and allowing policies to be sold across state lines (erasing any sort of regulation of policies).
Did you ever read that bill? Do you even know who authored it?
Hint: It wasn't SEIU or the Apollo Alliance.
Where was the Dem counter proposal? That's right, there wasn't one. So FOUR years later, it's some big emergency and we gottahaveitnow.
If it's a crisis now, it was in 2005 as well. Where was the Dem counter-proposal?
Yeah, I know who authored it. Aetna and BCBS.
Are you going to continue to be willfully dishonest? Or, are you going to look up the bill and educate yourself.
Obama told Michelle, after a campaign speech, "They're really drinkin the juice!" And yes, you are.
Tort reform doesn't do anything except line the pockets of business. It doesn't do anything to control costs.
It doesn't?
It's worked every time it's been tried.
You would much rather line the pockets of trial lawyers, and cause massive waste by way of defensive medicine. I see.
It hasn't had time to work yet. It was just passed.It's worked? Is that why Texas has some of the highest health care cost in the nation even though they've enacted tort reform?
The IMMEDIATE effect however was positive. Time will tell what the long-term effects are.
Again, you're trying to deflect from my original point, shredding rdean's kool-aid: Where was the Dem's counter-proposal in 2005?
There wasn't one.
And while we're at it, let's get you on record: Are you a supporter of HR 3200?
