One of the main drivers of health care costs is the outrageous settlements for real or perceived malfeasance by medical practitioners. The result is that they have very high insurance premiums which are passed along to us in the amounts charged for services rendered. George Bush wanted caps placed on awards to reduce this effect, but the congress wouldn’t go along.

Let’s compare Obama’s plan to the GOP health care plan:

1 – Barack Obama will make health insurance affordable and accessible to all:

The Obama-Biden plan provides affordable, accessible health care for all Americans, builds on the existing healthcare system, and uses existing providers, doctors and plans to implement the plan.

2 – Obama will lower health care costs:

The Obama plan will lower health care costs by $2,500 for a typical family by investing in health information technology, prevention and care coordination.

3 – Promote public health:

Obama and Biden will require coverage of preventive services, including cancer screenings, and will increase state and local preparedness for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

The GOP outline:

Provides Universal Access to Health Care and Secures Entitlements:
Instead of accelerating the demise of our nation’s large entitlement programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and creating new unsustainable entitlements, Republicans seek to provide universal access to affordable health care and to address our entitlements’ trillion dollar unfunded liabilities with common sense reforms that ensure our children and grandchildren can secure future benefits.

Hmmm… With few exceptions, it looks to me as though both plans are about the same. Furthermore, it looks to me like both plans are stupid. Blah blah blah.

Here’s Moogie’s healthcare reform plan:
1. Make illness and injury obsolete, thereby eliminating the need for medical care.

Hey, I think my plan is just as good as theirs! Now I just have to figure out how to implement it…

42. myth buster:

Way to misunderstand virtually every part of a large and complex issue. Rest assured abortion, the IRS, and border patrolling has absolutely nothing to do with our economic downfall. But, it does reveal the grade-schooler level at which you perceive the world.

Those stinkin’ Mexicans done ruined our country! Keep ‘em out and somehow Wall Street will correct itself! Genius. Pure genius. Have you shared these plans with Obama’s people?

Pat J…. Correct away if it gives you some much needed self-esteem! I’m smelling character flaw but that could be a bias against those with a superiority complex. I await your corrections!

David S… “The choice is clear.” What choice? There is no unilateral discussion on the topic. Obama owns this administration and all of it’s warts. Remember his Democratic congress and his backbone (Nancy Pelosi)? You can defend all you want but if it resembles any Obama policies instituted thus far…it’s more money down the RATHOLE. Own it and quit pretending their was ever a “choice”.

TRUTH.

Someone who actually thinks.

Pat J….. If you’d bother to read a post before commenting in your usual way, you’d see I said that to call you a “moonbat, bleeding heart, uninformed liberal wingnut” would be rude so I wouldn’t do that. But again, you can lead a liberal to information but you can’t make him/her read it.

Pat J… There’s a difference. I’m referencing our President (Giggles). You aim for fellow posters. Big difference. I’m not the one taking money out of your 401k or sending your kids’ futures down the river. So President Giggles, President Teleprompter, all work but Pat J the moonbat, bleeding heart, uninformed liberal wingnut would be rude. See the difference?

Oh. So now you’re calling me names. Isn’t that like calling the kettle black?
