A model for America - Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told a doctors' convention Saturday that Florida's medical malpractice crisis will be solved under his watch |
Gov. Jeb Bush told a doctors' convention Saturday that Florida's medical
malpractice crisis will be solved under his watch. Bush told about 1,900
doctors at a convention for the American Association of Physicians of Indian
Origin that the Legislature will keep meeting until an impasse over strict
limits on certain damages in malpractice lawsuits is resolved. The
Legislature returns to Tallahassee on Tuesday to attempt to reach a
compromise over the issue. The House and Bush maintain that the way to lower
doctors' premiums and keep them from fleeing the state or closing up their
practices is to put strict limits on non-economic damages in malpractice
lawsuits. The Senate resisted any caps until it passed a measure Thursday
limiting victims to $1.5 million in non-economic damages, such as
compensation for pain and suffering. Victims in the worst cases would be
exempted from that cap - although still limited to a total of $6 million.
The House and Bush are pushing for a more stringent cap - a no-exemptions
limit of $250,000 beyond actual damages. Senate President Jim King has
expressed some doubt that lawmakers, even with an extra week, would be able
to bridge the gap.

death loom over their petty barriers -- your city dwellers are surprised and
annoyed. Their attitude seems to say, "This is all a mistake and tomorrow it
will be over" -- as though it were as simple as turning on a radiator to

The way to do this is not to cap malpractice awards, the way to
do this is to prevent what people who study this kind of thing
refer to as "The insurance cycle": whenever economic times
are hard, the insurance companies jack up doctors'
premiums in an attempt to make their own bottom lines look
a bit better. This has happened before: in the recession of
the early eighties (do you think there were bigger settlements
to lawsuits then?), during the recession of the early nineties
(do you think there were bigger settlements during to lawsuits
then?), and now. In the prosperous nineties, premiums went down (do
you think there were smaller settlements to lawsuits then?)

Yes, after all isn't Liberalism systematic, incremental and progressive?

Getting back to a real answer to my question, you're saying that
all those right-wing think tanks and conservative thinkers
aren't being systematic? That the past 30 years have the seen
the US being ruled by progressively conservative governments
that have incrementally implemented ever more conservative
policies?
Sure sounds like "systematic, incremental, and progressive"
to me.

Morally,
Conservatism gave us slaves, segregation, lynching, beating, Jim Crow, the lies of Nixon,
Reagan, (REAL lies), disfranchisement, and civil rights abuses. So much for "morality"
spiritually/Biblically,
Conservatism has given us Falwell, Robertson who exhibit the worst of sham religious
values, rips off millions from well-intentioned people, funds, aids and abets homophobes,
fans the flames of ignorance and bigotry, and taken to extreme........gives us clinic
bombers, and assassins
Judicially,
Conservatives gave us George Bush Laughing at the condemned, dozens, perhaps hundreds
of falsely accused/convicted people on death row, and using courts to extract vengeance
instead of mete out justice.
honestly,
Conservatism gave us McCarthyism, Nixons felonies, Reagan's Lies and subversion of the
constitution, and your rat-***** idiot's LYING about WMD.
economically,
Conservative economic polices gave us the depression, child labor, self-serving greed,
personal entitlement, $4 trillion debt, losses of millions of jobs (NAFTA was a reagan
Idea), and the rich getting richer.
politically,
Gave conservatives "control" for LESS than 15% of the time last century.
MOF, nearly EVER major initiative for social and economic greatness came from
LIBERALISM.
Including This Nation.

Your such a coward. Anyone on USENET that's read your
posts knows you have nothing good to say that isn't filth.
Me describing you as a ***** is always in response
to your foul mouth. When ever you quote me describing
your character as "*****", you always leave out what
you said to earn that stigmata, coward
