Personally, I'd prefer that we denounce those on the list who would try
to impose their own political "filters" on what should or should not be
posted here. And why is it always those who are the most "liberal", are
the ones who are most intolerant of opposing views and are so quick to
name-calling?
>In the hope of getting this conversation back onto the issue at hand
The issue "at hand" is tort/malpractice reform and NOT which candidate
is most eloquent. I hope that you agree that the progress of
tort/malpractice reform in the USA directly affects, every day, the
livelihood and career choices of many on this list. Physicians should
be allowed to inform themselves of ALL views on such issues and make
their own decisions - and then live with the consequences of those
decisions.
As I first said, it is a certainty, that with a trial lawyer who has
made millions suing doctors (primarily obstetricians) in the White House
(e.g. a fox in the henhouse), that tort reform would be DEAD for years.
I just hope that trial lawyers don't try to "get back" at physicians
like they did to the docs in Florida who sought to limit trial lawyer
fees.
BTW, I like how you have decided that physicians are the real source of
the malpractice crisis. I'm sure Edwards and the trial lawyers' lobby
would agree with you.
