Health Care is not as bad as some may think

One reason that I feel so qualified to speak my piece about both parties' actions is because I have voted for both. I am very embarrassed to say that I voted for G.W. Bush the first go 'round.

Well, we found something in common here, BJean: I was a Democrat, born and raised, who switched (I prefer to think of it as "saw the light" ) during Reagan's 2nd term. I even voted for Jimmy Carter ! I don't think my parents have ever gotten over it, though....

LOL! I was a conservative since age 7 when I learned what taxes were. I had a roommate in college who was a socialist -- for a week (you'd be hard-pressed to live with me and be a socialist. Now she's more conservative than I).

Great story!! Although I kinda wish you were still in college so you could "educate" a few more roomates!! :heh:

BTW, the portrayal of the families of victims of malpractice living the high life off these settlements is very distasteful. That's like talking about the families of the victims of 9/11 living well on their settlement money.

I don't mean to imply that all families do this. Or even most of them. But I have heard of various cases of it.

It is more distasteful to me to think about the doctor who goes on his merry way after practicing really bad medicine and continues having unsuspecting patients putting their lives in his hands and paying him good money for it.
