Sarah Palin:
No Health Care Reform Without Legal Reform
Many times commenters quickly pick up and spread the latest news on threads. Today someone at Hot Air mentioned something, that while off topic on that thread, is going to be the topic of news this weekend!
Sarah Palin has another Facebook Note up today. She goes for the jugular with this one:
President Obama’s health care “reform” plan has met with significant criticism across the country. Many Americans want change and reform in our current health care system. We recognize that while we have the greatest medical care in the world, there are major problems that we must face, especially in terms of reining in costs and allowing care to be affordable for all. However, as we have seen, current plans being pushed by the Democratic leadership represent change that may not be what we had in mind — change which poses serious ethical concerns over the government having control over our families’ health care decisions. In addition, the current plans greatly increase costs of health care, while doing lip service toward controlling costs.
We need to address a REAL bipartisan reform proposition that will have REAL impacts on costs and quality of patient care.…
This is the silver bullet quote (my emphasis):
First, we cannot have health care reform without tort reform.
The two are intertwined.
She highlights the deceit of trying to use the cost of health care as a reason for socialized medicine as she hits the heart of Democrat hypocrisy:
For example, one supposed justification for socialized medicine is the high cost of health care. As Dr. Scott Gottlieb recently noted, “If Mr. Obama is serious about lowering costs, he’ll need to reform the economic structures in medicine—especially programs like Medicare.” [1] Two examples of these “economic structures” are high malpractice insurance premiums foisted on physicians (and ultimately passed on to consumers as “high health care costs”) and the billions wasted on defensive medicine.
Dr. Stuart Weinstein, with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, recently explained the problem:
”The medical liability crisis has had many unintended consequences, most notably a decrease in access to care in a growing number of states and an increase in healthcare costs.”…
Dr. Weinstein makes good points, points completely ignored by President Obama. Dr. Weinstein details the costs that our out-of-control tort system are causing the health care industry and notes research that “found that liability reforms could reduce defensive medicine practices, leading to a 5 percent to 9 percent reduction in medical expenditures without any effect on mortality or medical complications.”…
So I have new questions for the president: Why no legal reform? Why continue to encourage defensive medicine that wastes billions of dollars and does nothing for the patients? Do you want health care reform to benefit trial attorneys or patients?…
If you want to save health care, let’s listen to our doctors too. There should be no health care reform without legal reform. There can be no true health care reform without legal reform.
Game, Set, Match.
UPDATE: Hot Air commenter jp, mentioned an IBD Editorial, They’re Coming For Your Tonsils, which focuses on the role of lawyers and lawsuits on health care costs:
Trial lawyers helped create a medical crisis through malpractice suits that raise costs while driving doctors from their practices….
The accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers says about 10% of the cost of medical service is attributable to medical malpractice lawsuits. Roughly 2% is caused by direct costs of the lawsuits; an additional 5% to 9% is due to expenses run up by defensive medicine.
SPREADING LIKE WILDFIRE: From the comments at Hot Air to their Headlines and now Ed Morrissey has written a post on Sarah Palin’s commentary for the Hot Air front page. He notes:
She also has documented her argument rather thoroughly

Yes, there should be R ads that highlight this. It destroys the left’s health care arguement.
[2]
I am so glad she went for this. People have been waiting for it.
It’s going to spread like a wildfire.
[3]
Go Sarah!!!!!!!!!
[4]
Again, Sarah Palin is saying what few other Republicans have the courage to say. Lou Dobbs recently had a leading physician on his show. This man claimed that there are over $200 billion is medical costs for unnecessary tests that doctors order primarily to cover themselves in the case of lawsuits.
Dobbs has been featuring a different country’s health care plan every night. One thing that almost all have is a cap on medical lawsuits. It’s a major hole in the Obama plan. Why is no one in the GOP other than Sarah Palin talking about this? Why is no one in the GOP (other than Sarah, Michele Bachmann, Jim DeMint and a few others) on the attack?
[5]
Actually bc3b I have heard a lot of R’s say this….but the Media filter dampens the message…we need Ads.
Having Sarah give voice to this is a big plus because she is unfiltered by the MSM..
[6]
Sarah Palin has a knack of getting to her point succinctly! She has a raw honesty in her words, a strong point embraced by the people, and, one which disorients the left because they deem it as too unsophisticated. However, that is how truth is often presented —> in plain simple terms!
[7]
Charlie Gibson can’t twist Sarah’s words when she puts them in writing.
[8]
Yes, janzam, it worked for Reagan…..and the left hates the plain spoken truth like a vampire hates light.
[9]
Love it.
There is no one else like her out there.
What a refreshing contrast to the rest of the GOP drones. And wow does she ever agitate the Left!
[10]
Lets see, she’s 2 fer 2 on Facebook. Doing pretty damn good for somebody who ‘lacks gravitas’ as the leftists would say.
So when does the Judiciary Committee start holding hearings on ‘Palin Tort’ reform?
[11]
Oh drdog…you are the master of irony!
[12]
Janzam,
I try.
[13]
Ummmmmm….the link colors are the same, and now all the other colors have changed.
[14]
JM, I’ve been cut-and-pasting this color in before my links to make them show up:
color: #9e7922. It hasn’t been automatic.
It wasn’t one of the color squares; I picked it out from the spectrum chart!
!)
(More interior decorating!
[15]
INC could you give an example of how you would post a colored link by the cut and paste method? Where do you put the color # in the set-up?
[16]
Perhaps you didn’t close the code then, because it only changed the colors of the articles/comments below the COF.
[17]
Yeah, it is the code. Somewhere it is open.
[18]
I think it happened when you did the “update” to the story.
[19]
Jan, it will be a moot point after the weekend when Kenny gets the color changed.
span style=”color: #9e7922;”
goes before the link title, bracketed with < and >
/span goes after the link title, bracketed with < and >
(I didn’t bracket them in the example because it would just disappear as code.).
Mary, I used to close the code on everything, but on my computer it showed the color automatically closing with the link tag closing.
[20]
Update is closed with /span. Let me go through and check it.
[21]
Strange. Yeah, because it changed everything on the page, not just the link colors after your update. Perhaps take the colors off the updated links and see if that fixes it?
[22]
The last one about the RedState crossposting was open. How does it look to you now?
[23]
Thanks INC!
[24]
You’re welcome!
[25]
Actually I prefer my links double hung, with gathers on the ends. Maybe a sheer liner on the inside for the glare.
[26]
Dr. D, that’s kind of out of style right now, don’t you know!
[27]
Krathammer is attacking Palin again today in the Washington Post. “We might start by asking Sarah Palin to leave the room. I’ve got nothing against her. She’s a remarkable political talent. But there are no “death panels” in the Democratic health care bills, and to say that there are is to debase the debate.”
This guy is starting to wear on me. Krathammer is a neocon who is a liberal on most issues.
His Ivy League elitist attitude really bugs me.
[28]
bc3b, one thing I don’t get is why he even discussed death panels today. Sarah posted that Facebook Note two weeks ago. She’s “moved on” so to speak
as has the general discussion.
Now we’re on co-ops as a Trojan Horse and today, tort reform from Sarah.
[29]
a splendid article by Troy Senik!!
HatTip Realclearpolitics
Hope and Change Has Become Predictable Liberalism
Take a listen to the angry town hall participants or talk radio callers and you’ll notice a common trend: regardless of which party they belong to, they sound more conservative than the GOP has for years. While many Republicans don’t invoke “limited government” as anything more than a slogan, the man on the street talks about adherence to the Constitution or the sanctity of states’ rights. They seem to be relearning the skepticism towards power that the nation was founded on.
read it all…it’s short and very powerful!
[30]
Justrand, that is an excellent article. He’s echoing the realization of others that there are many Katy Abrams across the country!
[31]
I’ve updated David Horowitz On Saul Alinsky to include a link to his latest in the series. Today in Means and Ends: Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me, Part VI, David Horowitz begins to discuss Alinksky’s means to accomplish his ends. I referred a while back to Alinksy’s “ethics” of means and ends. Here’s a brief Wiki post on them.

New name for Obama: President Wee-wee
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/politics_nation/2009/08/weeweed_up_explained.html
[33]
childish, naive policies…
doin’ the wee-wee dance
[34]
Ok, seriously now, who knew Gov Paterson was black?
I just thought he was a liberal hack like any other liberal hack. I guess in his mind since he’s a black liberal hack he should be allowed to remain in office–not becaue of his hackness, but because of his blackness.
[35]
Friday afternoon “news dump”: White House is gonna up the 10 year deficit projection by $2 TRILLION on Tuesday…to $9 TRILLION.
But wait. The CBO already had it at $9.1 TRILLION…which almost certainly means they will raise their projection to over $10 TRILLION.
And it means the deficit for this year is gonna easily top $2 TRILLION even before ObamaCare.
And when the August un-employment numbers come in I predict we will be at 10%. I think last month’s was an aberration…or outright fabrication!
[36]
Is that an aberration of a fabrication or a fabrication of an aberration?
With “I Won” either and both could be true?
[37]
Crap’s gonna get worse. The real unemployment rate bears little resemblance to the published one, and is closing in on double its value.
Wonder why Moe Lane linked INC’s post? Doesn’t he know she’s not pro-amnesty?
[38]
I should have said: Congratulations to INC for getting published on Eric Erickson’s excellent blog.
Which happens to be (pa)trolled by Lane and Neil Stephens….
[39]
Sarah, I would have your baby!!!!!
[40]
RWY, I don’t know if I should say thank you or not
!
Moe wrote something earlier this week saying he’d been trying to figure out a way to get Sarah Palin to mention tort reform on Facebook. He did it in the context of NRO editors taking a backhanded slap at her. He said it never occurred to him to try to get the NRO eds to do that.
I linked to that in the RedState post. Moe must be watching for links to his pieces–and perhaps that’s why it caught his eye.
[41]
hmmmm…….odd, indeed….
[42]
Meanwhile CA jobless rate hits 11.9%, the highest ever! Second only to Michigan at 15%.

Why would anybody hire now, particularly in a blue state? Why? It would be stupid, suicidal. Obama openly planning to charge fines for not paying for health care for employees, to side with unions and jackpot-seeking plaintiffs/trial lawyers at every opportunity, it goes on and on….
Here is a great comment from the SF website posting the story. Nice wakeup call kiddie. Wonder how many Obama rallies this guy religiously attended:
“I am a recent graduate from Berkeley and have been avidly applying for jobs since late may and cannot get anything. Not even so much as a call-back. Finding a job is terrible right now. My father constantly reminds me that the economy was just as bad when he graduated from college (jimmy carter, 1980), but i think things are much worse. My friends and other graduates are all ~10-20k in debt from student loans and constantly being passed up on jobs for those more experienced. Young people are screwed right now, really bad….”
[43]
Yeah, that’s fine obviously. I just don’t like Moe, nor Neil, but of course I don’t like Allah, or Ed Morrisey either. I know Moe and Ed are amnesty buddies, not sure about Neil, and Allah is good on this, despite being, IMO, pointlessly moderate on other issues.
Just tired of wimps. Seeing them everywhere these days…….
[44]
Young people are screwed right now, really bad….”
And yet, who did they vote for by 2:1……?
Hey, I love my job and am grateful for it. Nevertheless, it’s not so easy to weep for these morons (assuming the poor dear is indeed an Obama voter, odds are he is) after what they’ve inflicted on the country.
Everyone has a price to pay, and Obama is going to make sure they pay it, and double if he can.
[45]
RWY, I’ve written what I considered better posts with more of my own commentary in them; however, I’m glad one made it to their front page and I hope that because it did then more people there will look at other things I write.
[46]
Why would anybody hire now, particularly in a blue state?
Although Helicopter Ben will continue pumping up the dow, I don’t believe you will see any (significant) hiring until after the 2010 elections, and not even then if the Dems hold on to both houses.
I am not aware of any state that is (on net) hiring in the private sector, in any significant numbers…..
[47]
I never registered at RedState as I would have been quickly banned due to my strong and florally spoken views on amnesty and the R party.
They only allow a few well-respecteds to openly criticize Rs over there.
You know if Jon Sandor was banned, they were not into letting the debate go forward in any real way.
I have tremendous respect for Erick Erickson, but don’t care for the rest of them at all. Now that Leon is back, I can’t be bothered to read them more than once a week, although I do enjoy Erick’s morning updates.
[48]
“florally spoken”
I’ve noticed fairly strong criticisms of the GOP over there this year. They don’t usually match you for throwing flowers though!
[49]
Ed Morrisey is a loyal fellow, and a worthy opponent of the left, but he doggedly favors amnesty for illegals, which John Hawkins tried to talk him out of and couldn’t.
And Allah, who is as much a right-baiter as Chekote or Charles Johnson, is cleverer on that issue, seeing the final doom that awaits the R party should amnesty pass.
Strange, the paths people take, I would not think that Allah holds the right in the contempt he appears to, looking at his stance on immogration, likewise Morrisey; you’d think he’d be clearer on the implications.
But many of the so-called conservative spokesmen are totally in the bag for amnesty…
Medved and Hewitt for example, and of course the whole Bush clan and Tony Snow, I was horrified to learn.
It’s just my 2c, but I don’t pretend to understand it.
[50]
On the foreign front is Obama’s kowtowing and open hand to our enemies now dead? Having watched the release of the Lockerbee terrorist it just goes to show, being nice just gets you a punch in the face.
The primary question in my mind is — at anytime did the Obama WH consider an extradition request? We have treaties with the UK in this regards. If they did not then it is a crime of fundamental lack of trying. Whether extradition would have been approved or not, it would have slowed down that jerk’s release.
Has Obama learned anything from this?
[51]
RWY, my guess is that somewhere there is a personal experience or relationship that is having a strong influence.
[52]
That’s what I always tend to think if I see someone who is holding a position that doesn’t quite line up with their general view of things.
There’s also always a chance they haven’t thought through the assumptions/implications of what a particular opinion, but I don’t think that applies to the big bloggers or political types.
[53]
Has Obama learned anything from this?
Why would he suppose he should have learned something from it? Let me ask this: Do you think he is upset or disappointed that this murderer WAS given a hero’s welcome?
FWIW I don’t think Obama has a loyal (to the USA) bone in his body. I would not expect him to take any lesson from the episode, other than to pause and smirk at our outrage.
Just me.
[54]
Dr. D, I think Obama only consideration of anything is whether or not he thinks it will advance his agenda.
[55]
RWY, my guess is that somewhere there is a personal experience or relationship that is having a strong influence.
An excellent guess, and often the case. Nevertheless, it’s like avoiding military service: If everyone exercises that option, we have no army.
A man may have brought in his wife and wish her family to come too. Understandable, but if even 10 million of his fellow Americans do the same, goodnight small government, goodnight R party…
People need to realize this is not 1960 anymore. We cannot continue to absorb millions from all over the world and avoid a descent into socialism. Period.
What good does all this yelling at Obama, when half the R party wants to swell the ranks of his voters by dozens of millions?
It does not make sense.
[56]
I’m becoming morose again, I suppose. Next year’s amnesty battle will wipe out any conservative momentum by splitting the R party down the middle again. Just in time for the midterms.
And we are too stupid to see it. Ed even writes about this on HotAir, yet continues to support amnesty anyway, AFAIK…..
sigh. One day at a time. It’s frustrating when your party, full of so many benevolent minds, nonetheless becomes the author of it’s own destruction.
[57]
Do you think he is upset or disappointed that this murderer WAS given a hero’s welcome? — RWY
That he cares that the terrorist was released? No. That he cares that the release may reflect bad on him? Yes. The man is a narcissist so he will consider it from that angle.
Least that’s my take.
[58]
GOP leadership does not seem to be strong on logic.
But the citizens are on the amnesty issue.
[59]
RWY– the poster’s name was “boscoboy”..
Lessee.. Berkeley grad boscoboy… safe bet he is an Obama voter.
Welcome to the real world sporto.
“Jobs” are not your birthright. You are either good at something useful, or not.
[60]
GOP leadership does not seem to be strong on logic.
Sniff, sniff….anyone else smell understatement?
That he cares that the release may reflect bad on him? Yes. The man is a narcissist so he will consider it from that angle.
Quite possibly. It may also be that his belligerence for average Americans may eclipse the self-perceived damage to his rep. He’s got more than enough sneering arrogance to make up for that…
A hard left ideologue is typically hateful enough that self-interest takes a back seat, even for one as well-trained in the political arts as Obama.
I am surprised at how quickly the mask has fallen away from him. He continues to make provocative and panic-inducing statements that reveal his cluelessness/malevolence on heath care for example…his “God’s partners” remark is, or should be, astonishingly alarming for anyone paying attention…..
[61]
“Jobs” are not your birthright. You are either good at something useful, or not.
Let me guess, the young man has a graduate degree in brassiere-wearing, with a couple of minors in anti-war chanting and old-growth mourning…..
[62]
Mourning for the trees…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElJFYwRtrH4
[63]
“I want you to know that, trees! That we care!”
AHHHHHH! I can’t take it…
[64]
I am surprised at how quickly the mask has fallen away from him.
He’s never had enough real opposition to learn to wear that mask better or learn to be a grownup manipulator. He was made and protected by the Chicago and Illinois machine.
We should be thankful he’s never really gotten toughened up by adversity.
[65]
This was the toughest part of Tolkien to read, throughout the various books. The trees taking conscious form as ents/hourns.
Bah.
[66]
I am increasingly proud of regular Americans, who really do appear to be waking up. I realize I may be jinxing this by typing it…but I gotta say I more expected the bleeting of sheep in the meadow!
mpthompson and I are going to the Jackie Speier’s TownHall on Sunday (as “Domestic Partners” if that’s the only way I can get in!
) So tomorrow I am going to run a thread on what are THE best questions…most crisply worded…that we should ask?
I have several myself, that I will post in the thread tomorrow…but looking for suggestions too.
[67]
that. was. the. funniest. thing. I. have. seen. since. Borat.
[68]
We should be thankful he’s never really gotten toughened up by adversity.
Another Tolkien analogy: Obama put on his “one ring” too soon, and the “elves” (conservatives I suppose) perceived his malice toward them sooner than he would have liked.
You’d think a true Alinskyite would have bided his time somewhat longer.
The left is too rash, too greedy, in addition to their many other faults.
[69]
rwy, I LOVED the trees tearing the living shit out of the bad guys!!
Tolkien wasn’t a “Tree Hugger”…he just made a really unique protaganist!
Besides, the Orcs were all Democrats, so watching the Ents rip ‘em to shreds had true poetic justice!!!
[70]
Morons. Trees grow back.
Each tree that was but down is exactly what you want– a huge chunk of fixed carbon.
You should be cheering the clearcutting and replanting that “Big Wood” is doing.
Al Gore should be leading the charge, with all you morons behind him screaming in joy instead as you hack and rip and saw at the trees.
[71]
You’ll probably only get a chance for one (with no followups!).
You better word it the way the press used to do those gotcha ones they would try out on the Bush press secretaries.
[72]
rwy…I’m afraid that The One has already planned his CRISIS (aka: Reichstag fire) that will allow him sweeping powers.
I pray I am wrong
[73]
Whoo.. well I’m in a good mood now.
YEEAAARGHHHGHHHHHGHHHH!!!
What is it with liberals and screaming anyway.
[74]
rwy, I LOVED the trees tearing the living shit out of the bad guys!!
But trees don’t, you know, do that….
Tolkien wasn’t a “Tree Hugger”…he just made a really unique protaganist!
I think he was a tree hugger, although he did allow for the use of wood by the “speaking peoples”, which is more than many such allow for today.
Morons. Trees grow back.
Each tree that was but down is exactly what you want– a huge chunk of fixed carbon.
You should be cheering the clearcutting and replanting that “Big Wood” is doing.
You’re right of course. It’s a religious thing for them, so logic does not enter in to it. Which is not to say I will admit that my religion, Christianity, is not logical.
Some religions are more logical than others, IMO.
[75]
JR: tell Jackie the numbers showing Obama is lying about the cost of the bill, and if she supports the lie. Yes or no.
[76]
Ah well. The left is easily beaten but for the right……
[77]
Leave the trees aloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooone
[78]
Well, at least I’ll never be beaten at poetry by a tree!
Although, there’s a first time for everything, heh.
[79]
Well, at least I’ll never be beaten at poetry by a tree!
Unless you want to be the Joyce Kilmer of BJG!

A haiku lamenting poetry futility:
My words mean little
small thoughts brazenly spoken
no chance for winning
[81]
I thought I would give it a try
Yet my phrases impotently lie
on the floor by the bin
words for ears made of tin
many posts but not much that is sly
So now I am taking the hook
And on rhyming am closing the book
So much sound and fury
verse composed in a hurry
to prose I shall forever look….
[82]
And that’s all I have to say about that, Jenneeeey!
[83]
rwy:
My member is small
winning poetry night is
my life’s ambition
[84]
rwy…don’t shoot!

INC -
Congratulations on the RedState post. YThere are more than 80 comments. Nice!
[86]
You win, RWY! You won for best poem posted at 6:27 pm pst on 8/21/09! Congrats!
[87]
Thanks, bc. It was a hot topic I posted at the right time.
[88]
RWY:
Poems prolific
Comments florally spoken
Why am I not first?
[89]
RWY – how plaintive! Great haiku – you are the best! JM needs to rethink the winners from past weeks… JR – Horrible!!!
[90]
You win, RWY! You won for best poem posted at 6:27 pm pst on 8/21/09! Congrats!
Cheating, obviously…. besides, I am no longer eligible for any prizes, being retired. wahhhh!
[91]
Life is disgusting
Poetry is a girls game
Second place, a pisser.
[92]
You are most certainly eligible for prizes, RWY! In fact, I have a cute little dog for you named Talulah. She doesn’t puke constantly or have smokers cough or anything, just in case you were going to ask that. I felt like a big winner when we brought her home from the pound on Tuesday, and want to pass that winning feeling along to you today.
[93]
3 is far too many syllables for a dog’s name.
[94]
Why not name your dog “Niederschlagswahrscheinlichkeit” and get it over with?
[95]
Don’t blame me, I wanted to name her Daphne (aka “nemesis” from Heroes, because she is my blasted nemesis…..I mean the sweetest dog evah! You want her right?)
[96]
And why would I want another hound, having 2 already?
[97]
Because you are a nice guy, and a winner in our hearts.
[98]
oy, vey.
[99]
[100]
I really hope you aren’t going to stay away from poetry night, RWY. Nothing says you can’t win next time.
[101]
JM…big ole SNAP on the Lucy cartoon!!
[102]
JM, that is a classic….are you and RWY scripting this?

Justrand – did you see Jon Voights comments on “zero” pushing for a Civil War?
[107]
Lol I was wondering when the friday poetry could come.
[108]
MFG….so light hearted.
These days make it easy to understand why men went to war…..either let yourself and your ideals be slaughtered, or stand up and fight.
[109]
Machine gun your Dad
Strangle your family pet
Liberals love death
[110]
OK, lighthearted
Polls are down
Obama will frown
He has such a fright
America has seen the light!

You know what would be an awesome bumper sticker after having seen that video of the weepy tree huggers?
Have you strangled a tree today?

Proud of my country
All the time unlike Michelle
She doesn’t know her ass from a hole in the ground
*I may be off, syllable wise*
[145]
Our POTUS
who art from hades
soiled be thy name
Thy unions come, thy opponents beaten
now, and throughout the ages
Give us this day our electric ration
And forgive us our children
a stink in the nostrils of the carbon traders,
and lead us never to prosperity
but deliver us from freedom
for yours are the malice, the reparations, and the rich white people
for generations
Amen
[146]

It is Ramadan
Obama on vacation
A coincidence?
[166]
Let me get this straight.
Obama’s health care plan will be
written by a committee whose head says he doesn’t understand it,
passed by a Congress that hasn’t read it,
signed by a president who smokes,
funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes,
overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that is nearly broke.
What possibly could go wrong?
