So, what don't we like about the GOP response/plan? I.e.,.. - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 12:10 30
- 1,2,3 and 5, everybody could agree on those, or at worst be indifferent about their implementation. - Loyola Sep 10, 12:38
- Not bad on their own, with the possible exception of tort reform. - con_carne Sep 10, 12:18 19
  - honestly, if republicans want tort reform (which they have for a decade) why cannot they compromise - tRuMaN Sep 10, 12:20 18
    - Silly, because the public option is pure concentrated evil -- nm - con_carne Sep 10, 12:26 1
      - no, that's my argument against ass-reaming uninsured healthcare patients with direct costs, driving them to bankruptcy. - Beryllium Sep 10, 12:28
    - If only the GOP had been in control of the House and Senate for some time in the past decade to pass that. - BB Sep 10, 12:24 1
      - they tried, but couldnt get enough votes in the senate to block a fillibuster on it. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 10, 12:28
    - [deleted] 13
      - Higher malpractice rates for insurance has absolutely nothing to do with ins companies playing the market and losing. - BB Sep 10, 12:25

        [deleted] 10
        
        no. and the indication last night was that it would not be widespread, but on a state-by-state demo level. - TFox Sep 10, 12:28 6
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        It was an authorization of CMS to build demonstration programs around it, for Medicare/Medicaid, I assume. - TFox Sep 10, 12:33

        no, the ERs in kansas hospital increased in size/staff while those in missouri - tRuMaN Sep 10, 12:33
        
        no, but the argument before now has been to cap the amount of damages which can be awarded for most malpractive suits. - tRuMaN Sep 10, 12:28
        
        I think it's mostly in the form of capped damages. -- nm - pmb Sep 10, 12:27 1

  - i have no problem with requiring them to cover pre-existing conditions, nor do I have a problem with making - tRuMaN Sep 10, 12:18 1
    - I think that's what they mean, yes. - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 12:21
  - basically, yes. -- nm - TFox Sep 10, 12:18

  - I expect Bowe to be a top 12 WR this year, with the addition of Cassel and no Gonzo to throw at. -- nm - Reagen Sep 10, 11:56 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - I'm down on Bowe himself until he can solve his ball dropping problem -- nm - Stephen Sep 10, 11:59

    - Plus, if it's a clusterf*** it will happen after the next election. -- nm - Stephen Sep 10, 11:46 2
      - The status quo is a clusterf*ck. 4 more years of that crap. - Loyola Sep 10, 11:52
      - Well then, it's a good thing so many conservatives have convinced us this is the case by virtue of the fact that it is a government program. *whew* -- nm - con_carne Sep 10, 11:51

      - Oh. Yeah. That's a speech. Don't read too much into the lack of concrete details on any one part, b/c that would make for a shitty speech. -- nm - TFox Sep 10, 11:36 5
        
        Besides, having concrete details in speeches just leads to disaster. -- nm - Bush Administration (Rumsfeld, Powell) Sep 10, 11:37 4
        
        I actually thought there was way more meat in last night's speech than I was expecting. - TFox Sep 10, 11:38 3
        
        Cuz he's been vague for 3 months and his support's dropped huge. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 11:40 2
        
        sure. so this is Plan B. its a much better Plan B. -- nm - TFox Sep 10, 11:43
        
        exactly. -- nm - Remlik Sep 10, 11:41
