Healthcare Reform

Kuan · Post by **Kuan** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:11 am

Since the new health care reform bill was passed, are we doing the right thing? Does this new bill take us in the right direction or the wrong direction? I have very little knowledge of this and I want to hear all sides so I can start to develop and gain knowledge of the issue. One thing that I know we need for sure is tort reform but why are so many scared to tackle it? Also why would socialized be better than a capitalized system?

Is this source better?

Better, but look at the bib. Its all from special interest groups and its put together by politicians. Would you trust something that came from a politicians desk?

What I posted above is actual peer-reviewed science.

If we put the politician in office they better be somewhat trustworthy. (alothough they are not.)

Which unfortunately, more often than not, they are not.

Lmfao. I guess asking for an honest politician IS a bit much!

Well, that is the claims for a politician that is catering to special interests. If you notice the articles that are being quoted are almost exclusively from the insurance industry, and people that are specifically pushing for tort reform.

Well, im trying to argue for reform here, im not gonna post something contradictory here.

Either way tort reform needs to be addressed but is it a large enough issue to be addressed?
