Palin: No Healthcare Reform without Tort Reform

Sarah Palin lays down the challenge:

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. [5]

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 too. There should be no health care reform without legal reform. There can be no true health care reform without legal reform.

"Children get drugs for free in the UK. Visits to the GP are free for everybody."

There is no 'free' healthcare. Who pays for it?

I was in Northern Ireland/UK last week and spoke to a relative there. He mentioned they have medical care by post-code in the UK. If you live in the wrong postal-code, you will be denied drugs and services that are available in other areas.

Should we adopt that here?

"HEALTH CARE IN THIS COUNTRY SUCKS."

Does it? We had excellent care for 4 childbirths and the care, above standard of anywhere else, was less than a few hundred out of pocket, rest paid via private health insurance. This guys marvelling about no out of pocket expenses for births in France. BFD.
