    Beats me we seem to have lawyers writing the health care bill. I think that would be one of the first things they would look at would be tort reform. I also would have thought they would have pulled all the medical doctors in congress to come and conference on the bill. Then pull ideas from other health care providers and the insurance companies to do something to help with the cost without changing what is basically a good system. It needs to some help and tweaking but not a complete overhaul.

    Although I am more than a little concerned about what is going to come out as the final bill since we are basically being run by a single party right now.

    Because ambulance chasing lawyers like john edwards are the second biggest group of donors to the democratic party. tort reform would anger the lawyers, therefore less money to the DNC, so what about special interests not being a factor in this 'transparent' congress session?
