Dems Begin Alinsky-in-August Offensive

[WillowTree]

The healthcare-takeover plotters in the Democrat war room have charted their Alinsky-in-August offensive.

And, pray tell, what are the Democrats' -- solely humanitarian -- objectives here?

* Pass another trillion-dollar tax burden upon the backs of unsuspecting American taxpayers.
* Consolidate another takeover of the private sector. (James Lewis called it a "MediCoup." I agree.)
* Buy a bunch of votes for 2010 from ACORN registrants and illegal aliens.


Selling another mine of fools gold to taxpayers could never be called humanitarian, no matter how one counts his little chickens.

Their tactics worked with the Crimulus Stimulus, which provides jobs that last a mere week, props up perv-porn "art," and expensive new potties for little-used national parks, all the while neglecting rotting bridges and states who didn't vote for the stimulator in chief. But, so far, none of the Democrats' tactics has worked all that well in convincing a wary public to just trust them to know what's best for all our healthcare.

Even Barack, the magic insurance salesman, hasn't convinced Harry & Louise Q. Citizens to sign on the dotted line.

Hard to trust an insurance salesman who hasn't even read the policy, now isn't it?

Time to bring out the big guns of Alinsky for the August crush. While Barack, the magic insurance salesman, leaves his own job in the capable hands of Time magazine shills, and spends a month in elitist paradise on Martha's Vineyard (taking Macho lessons?), his generals, Pelosi, Reid and Waxman, are taking the battle for federal healthcare control to the airwaves and the streets.

Nancy Pelosi fired the first salvo last Thursday. Standing in her foxhole on the Hill, wagging her little finger like an AK-47, wearing her all-white-good-guy camouflage fatigues, Imperious Nancy threw down her battle gauntlet:

Gibbs was spinning like a top, annoucing its 'manufactred' faux outrage by 'desperate special interest groups.'

The same exact tactics used during the election, trying to con people into thinking small evil groups are the only ones that oppose Obama the spend master.

These "small evil groups" as you call them have spent $133 MILLION dollars lobbying against healthcare reform just this year. Now why do YOU think they are willing to spend $133 MILLION to stop reform?
Things that make you go "hmmmmmmmmm"...

A prime example of the useful idiot, that we currently call an obamatron.

Equiped with marching orders and false data to present as 'proof' that people like me aern't really people like me!

So, you can't refute this data, but don't want to hear it, so you resort to name calling? Are you SURE you are not a neo-con?

Dontcha think that people need to know that Obama plans to sacrifice American senior citizens in order to pay for his power grab which gives free health care to illegals and federally funds abortions?

I see you got your talking points from Glenn Beck today. Good little neo-con....of course, there is no proof of ANY SUCH legislation in the works, but hey, since when do you guys care about proof? Can you say WMD? How about "Mission Accomplished"? "Iraq oil revenue will more than pay for this war"?

Go find a grown up, hopefully there's one near you who can read English, and have them read my sig line to you.

I don't watch Glen Beck

Yeah, keep telling me that the Dems aren't Fascists

Are your parents or grandparents still living? Why do want Obama to kill them off?

They did it with the tea parties too, calling anyone who attended racists, of course they did not shine the light on the black people who attended ours in our little community. Hard to call them racists but they were as opposed to the stimulus bill and all the bailouts as the rest of us.

The spin isn't going to work, the people are on to them.

I don't have access to Beck's program script, but what you just wrote is almost verbatim from his show today. Coincidence? I think not. Unless ALL of you neo-cons, including Beck, get your daily talking points from some centrl think tank? By the way, do you have any idea how long ago Ezekiel wrote that? And why?

You don't think. That's your problem.

You snort the Obama Kool Aid straight from the can.

Given the tone and texture of it, I think Ezekiel could have written it in the mid 1930's probably no later than 1938.

YaYank have you heard of the trail lawyers lobby????? I wonder how much they donate to democrats to keep TORT reform out of the health care debate?? Do you know how many billions of dollars that these frivolous lawsuits cost us in increased medical care?? Do you know that doctors are so afraid of being sued that they will run every unnecessary test on you to keep from being sued?? Do you know how much malpractice insurance our physicians are required to purchase costs?? Do you know that many of our best and brightess people won't go into the medical field because of the exorbidant costs of this malpractice insurance??

DID YOU KNOW THAT OBAMA HAS PLEDGED NOT TO DO ANY TORT REFORM on malpractice legislation. You wanna know why?? He has a bunch of ambulance chasing buddies that donate millions to his and his fellow liberals campaignes. Now you can go chew on that tidbit of information for awhile.

Tell me who is serious about reform, because without tort reform there will be NO reform.

Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Payments Fall to Record Low: Report - AboutLawsuits.com

Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Payments Fall to Record Low: Report

July 20th, 2009 • Filed Under: News • No Comments


According to a report from Public Citizen, the total number of medical malpractice lawsuit payments has fallen to a record low, accounting for only 0.6% of all healthcare costs in the United States. The consumer advocacy group is calling on Congress to put safety measures in place to reduce the number of preventable medical mistakes instead of enacting further limits on patients’ ability to pursue compensation.

The report, The 0.6 Percent Bogeyman, released earlier this month, indicates that medical malpractice payments have been trending downward for the past three years and are at their lowest levels since the government began tracking payments in 1990.

Public Citizen looked at medical malpractice payment data and patient safety estimates from the National Practitioner Data Bank, managed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The group found that there were only 11,037 medical malpractice payments in 2008, more than 30% lower than the average number of payments from previous years. The report also found that the amounts paid were either the lowest or second lowest on record, depending on the method used to adjust for inflation.

Even when including all medical malpractice insurance premiums, the cost of medical malpractice liability accounted for only 0.6% of the total cost of national health care. Annual malpractice payments fell from $3.9 billion in 2006 to $3.6 billion in 2008.

Nearly all of the malpractice payments were found to provide compensation for the most serious cases of negligence, with only about three percent of medical malpractice payments going to lawsuits that could be considered “junk” or “frivolous” claims. In fact, the report indicates that 83% of medical malpractice payments in 2008 went toward injuries that resulted in brain damage, permanent life-long care requirements, permanent injuries or death.

“Any way you measure it, medical liability accounts for less than 1 percent of the country’s health care costs, and the vast majority of victims receive no compensation whatsoever,” said David Arkush, director of Public Citizen’s Congress Watch division. “These are people who died or were left with serious permanent injuries - out of work, with enormous medical costs for the rest of their lives - and they and their families are getting nothing from the doctors and hospitals responsible.”

Public Citizen concludes that Congress would be better focused on improving healthcare in the country, as opposed to limiting patient rights as part of the debate on health reform.

In a letter to Congress in late June, in association with several other consumer and government watchdog groups, Public Citizen urged lawmakers to reject all amendments to health care reform that would limit the ability of patients and families to seek compensation for medical negligence.

“Shielding negligent parties from accountability is no way to cut costs or provide quality care,” the letter states. “To the contrary, it is a recipe for increasing the nation’s epidemic of preventable errors, at enormous human and financial cost.”

The letter states that improving healthcare, decreasing the frequency of medical malpractice and negligence, would both save lives and decrease medical costs.

So, you can't refute this data,

Simpleton, i already did, I AM ONE OF THE PROTESTORS, and no 'specail interest group' is organizing me, or paying me.

but don't want to hear it, so you resort to name calling?

There is only one way to talk to the terminally stupid.

Are you SURE you are not a neo-con?

And again, the mantra of the simple minded.

I, who opposed the GoP, protested the overseas wars and bases and never voted for a GoP is a neocon to this half wit.

Run back MSMBC junior, you are wasting everybody's time here.
