Are you confused? Where has anyone stated that lawyers want tort reform? Are you going to admit you were wrong about trial lawyers donating almost exclusive to Democrats or are you just going to ignore it and try to change the subject?

What kind of lawyer are you?

I suggest you try again and this time not assume you are always correct. Opensecrets.org lists all the sources of campaign donations. They used to call themselves the Association of Trial Lawyers of America but they have changed their name now to American Association for Justice. 56000...

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I explicitly used the term "personal injury trial lawyer" when I made my point. You may want to look in the mirror the next time you think about using the term "fucking moron".

One thing you will discover about me assuming I continue to post here is that I never lie. I tried pot a couple of times in college but that was it. I saw how it was negatively affecting the people I knew who smoked it frequently. I enlisted in the Army shortly after that. I was never...

You tell me. I'm guessing you have some experience on the subject.

I already provided a citation earlier that showed usage of illicit drugs increased mental illness. You guys just ignored it because it would force you to admit I was correct about lifestyle choices. Idiots like Quaid tried to laugh it off. Trial lawyers supporting Democrats is a no brainier...

I thought the question and the following point was fairly obvious. Let me restate it for clarification. Can lawyers in Canada sue doctors for medical malpractice and win multimillion dollar claims like they can in the US?

I have noticed you like to laugh off/ignore facts when you don't like them.

Do you always have problems putting 2 and 2 together? Usage of illicit drugs increases the rate of suffering from mental illness. A person's lifestyle choice to use illicit drugs is not related in any way to whether a country has socialized or private healthcare system. The percentage of...

How much money can you sue doctors for medical malpractice in a single payer system? Is it safe for me to assume everyone here is aware that personal injury trial lawyers are the single largest source of political donations to Democrat politicians? They donate millions of dollars every...

I think you are misinformed. The Democrats controlled the House when Obama got elected in 2008. They lost it because of Obamacare in the 2010 election.

According to that Wiki article, that bill has been proposed in every Congress since 2003. The Democrats could have passed it anytime between Obama's election in 2008 and Scott Brown's election after Kennedy's death but they chose not to. There was no mention of any GAO scoring in that wiki...

I see the point went over your head. Wombat made an assertion based on anecdotal evidence so I countered it with better anecdotal evidence. Thanks for trying though.

The Democrats will forever own Obamacare and everything bad that happens because of it. Opposing the use of taxpayer money for bailouts of Big Insurance corporations who are losing money because of Obamacare should prove to be extremely popular with voters.

"Shut up imbecile. Your brazen stupidity hurting the country. You and all the idiots I'm sure you associate with to adopt such a pathetically stupid world view need to entrust your voting decisions to better men." I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to whoever said that. It caused me...

FYI the update to that article said only 50 (and not 300) of the people actually got laid off.

I posted it earlier but since you are so interested.... Masters in Information Systems BA in Political Science I'm a software engineer in the aerospace industry. Every job I have gotten since I left military service I got because of my military service. Life is good.

You also see it in the public education system. When I met my kids elementary school teacher and called him "Mr Smith" he informed me that he had a PhD in education and that he went by "Dr Smith".

If you can provide any factual evidence based on statistics, studies etc that concierge doctors are more technically competent than doctors with traditional practices I would be more than willing to change my opinion. Until then you are just making an assumption and using your own stepdad as...

Do you feel better now that you have insulted my reading comprehension? You're coming across as butthurt that not only did you get caught making a logical fallacy about my original citation but you also don't want to admit I was able to back up my point about poor lifestyle choices with a...

The BBC is half-cocked journalism? Lot of other news organizations are also reporting on the study. Google it

I got exactly what you said and I still think you are completely off base. Concierge medicine does requires patients to pay an annual membership for better access to the doctor but after that your insurance plan covers the actual cost of his services. Perhaps your concept of "quality" is...

You can go to nature.com and buy the study if you are so inclined. Does nature.com typically publish fringe research? http://www.nature.com/nature/journal...ture16166.html

. Obama has been delaying provisions of Obamacare that are going to hit pocketbooks the hardest for a few years now (after the 2012 election) The Employer Mandate is another example. As bad as Obamacare has failed so far, it's going to get worse starting soon. The Employer mandate kicks...

Perhaps you prefer the BBC version of the story? Cancer is not just 'bad luck' but down to environment, study suggests - BBC News

How difficult is for you to comprehend? Poor lifestyle choices negatively affect your health. As a society I think it's fairly obvious American citizens make poorer lifestyle choices compared to other countries, especially when it comes to drug abuse.

Give me a break. I'm honestly at a loss to find you making such silly assertions. If you are fat and lazy and your doctor tells you to go on a diet and start exercising to lose weight or you risk diabetes or a heart attack, it's not his or the healthcare system's fault if you don't possess...

I would be more than welcome to read your recommendations on how you would use the government to forcibly change the lifestyle habits of Americans. I agree with you its something we should be ashamed. I'm just not sure how in a free society you can force people to live a healthy lifestyle.

I only listed 3 of a countless number of factors because that was all I needed to make point. Quaid and others are operating under the mistaken assumption that health metrics based on sociological factors is somehow indicative of the quality of the healthcare system in that country. That is...

Thanks for taking the time to type all of that out. Here is all you really need to know. The number of Union members with access to Cadillac plans is so large that for multiple national elections the Democrats have kicked the can down the road and delayed the penalty in fear that it will hurt...

Yet you, Picasso and other leftwingers here don't seem to have any problems with regurgitating your own leftwing talking points. Just so you know, whenever you resort to invoking Political Correctness to try and put me on the defensive the only thing it accomplishes is forcing me to lower my...

Why should I as an individual be ashamed if some lazy fat slob who doesn't take care of himself gets diabetes? Why should I be ashamed if someone abuses drugs and becomes addicted to them? Why should I be ashamed if someone wants to smoke cigarettes and gets lung cancer? The concept that...

Talking points, propaganda and political narratives are regurgitated. Facts are presented and discussed.

You may want to inform yourself of current events and see how many Democrats supported delaying the Obamacare tax on Cadillac plans in the spending bill that was passed by the House last night because so many of their union constituents were going to get hit by it.

I kinda feel like you don't possess any reading comprehension skills. I was replying to his first sentence. Do you need me to explain its meaning to you?

Did you just fabricate the percentage number of 1% being able to afford quality healthcare out of thin air? That is nothing but absurd hyperbole and renders any point you made invalid. I'll debunk that easily. Roughly 10-12% of the US workforce are Union members. These workers are...
