Those "Poor" Doctors

Better that than passing a moronic law which will drive up costs for everyone.

running to fallacy already. you have no argument

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Doctors earn and deserve every penny they get.

It's hard and sometimes disgusting work and they should be very well compensated for it.

And anyone who thinks otherwise is just plain wrong.

Next up in the discourse that was never discussed in Obamacare is TORT REFORM.

You Bimbos need to do a better job o' detecting imbeded-links.

You wouldn't recognize an argument if it slapped you on the ass and gave you a wedgie.

The question of physician compensation is interesting because people of all political stripes and philosophies often seem to agree that doctors deserve what's "fair," regardless of the market machinations and interventions that have been used (and are still used) to keep compensation as high as it is. Just goes to show, there are always points of commonality

By Tort Reform you mean putting a cap on a court ordered settlement?

OK then, what should the limit be for a doctor who fucks up?

How about making those with false claims pay for the entire court proceeding?

You mean like Lil' Dumbya's Medicare D??????

​

"Approximately 75 percent of drug coverage is financed by the federal government and 25 percent by beneficiaries through monthly premiums, co-payments, co-insurance and deductibles. As opposed to traditional Medicare, in which the government directly pays providers for services, Part D coverage is privatized--meaning government tax-payer fund$ and contributions from beneficiaries are passed on to private insurers to manage benefits.

Medicare Part D has attracted substantial controversy from major health advocacy organizations, including the Commonwealth Fund, the Center for Medicare Rights and Families USA, as well as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the government organization responsible for administering government health benefits. Criticism centers on effects of the plan's privatization. Instead of the government negotiating prices with drug companies, price controls are left up to the market, which critics argue makes the prices and the program overall too expensive. There is also no standardization of coverage and benefits. Private insurers have created hundreds of different plans with different formularies, co-pays, premiums and deductibles, which critics argue confuse members in trying to choose a plan."

"Here are some things that happened on the night the GOP pushed the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit through the House of Representatives:

Tom DeLay bribed Rep. Nick Smith to vote for the legislation, using the political future of Smith's son for leverage. DeLay was later reprimanded by the House Ethics Committee.

The leadership told Rep. Jim DeMint that they would cut off funding for his Senate race in South Carolina if he didn't vote for the bill.

The chief actuary of Medicare, Rick Foster, had scored the legislation as costing more than $500 billion. The Bush administration suppressed his report, in a move the Government Accounting Office later judged "illegal.”

Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, a "no" vote, spent the night "hiding on the Democratic side of the floor, crouching down to avoid eye contact with the Republican search team."

Rep. Butch Otter, who provided one of the final votes after hours of arm-twisting from the Republican leadership, said, “I thought there was a chance I would get sick on the floor.”

no one would be able to sue then for fear of bankrupcty and doctors with big bank accounts could prolong cases forever in order to inflate monetary costs to the person hurt.

your insane tort reform plans would bring us back to a time when businessmen were untouchable and could exploit "common" people at will. Not to mention they are unconstitutional.

surely someone can explain how tort reform is both constitutional and NOT a license for doctors to act as recklessly as they want?

I've read numerous articles about tort-reform (for the medical-world), and found that....many doctors readily-admit it's a minority, of (incompetent) doctors, that drive-up the costs o' malpractice-insurance.

Unfortunately, the medical-world also has a thin-(scrubs)green-line....much like the cops have a thin-blue-line (when it comes time to rat-out assholes.)

If doctors refuse to blow-the-whistle ON those incompetent/questionable-doctors....and, that INCLUDES the ones movin', from-state-to-state (to avoid prosecution)....doctors have no-one-but-themselves, to blame, for the cost o' malpractice-coverage.

If doctors NEED someone to babysit their profession, lawyers will (always) be more-than-happy to accommodate their situation.​

It's already been done in Texas; if it were unconstitutional, it would have been overturned by now.
