As I recall, Clinton wanted very much to overhaul health care, and would have been successful, had it not been largely for the Republicans: http://www.princeton.edu/~starr/20starr.html http://www.hillaryclintonquarterly.com/killedhealthcare.htm As for tort reform, I believe that has been shown to be something of a red herring in the grand scheme of things, as per the two links in my previous post. It is proportionately not very meaningful and certainly deserves nowhere near the attention the Right is placing on it. The Right's focus on tort reform is more ideological than mathematical.
It's amusing that the canadians are outraged that these people aren't "given" health insurance. I would suggest that if Canada cares so much about the uninsured in the US then why don't they take them in and provide them with insurance.
1)Tort reform 2)The ridiculous high cost of college/doctors education 3)People running to the ER or doctor every time they get a runny nose
Explain how flooding the healthcare system with 47 million freeloaders who can't afford it is going to improve medical care and bring costs down. If the goal is to really reform the system, people would be responsible for their own medical bills just like they're responsible for their own car maintenance, with insurance only for catastrophic events.
Oh please... I've been talking about welfare for individuals the whole time; you're the one who's been inconsistent by foaming at the mouth about corporate welfare, the flat tax, blah, blah, blah.
So even though Texas has a cap of 250,000 they have to pay the same rate as Florida which has no cap ?Is that what your Republican figureheads told you to believe
Who Becomes a Stalker? Stalkers are usually isolated and lonely, coming from the âdisadvantagedâ of our society; however, a stalker can occupy any place in our entire social spectrum. Often, the stalking may be triggered by a significant trauma or loss in the life of the perpetrator, usually within at least seven years of the stalking behavior. (For example, relationship dissolution or divorce, job termination, loss/potential loss of a child, or an ill parent.) Most stalkers are not psychotic. In a comparative study of psychotic versus non- psychotic stalkers (Mullen et al. 1999), 63% of the sample was found to be suffering from a common psychiatric condition, such as major depression, personality disorder, or substance dependenceâwith personality disorder being the most common diagnosis.
