What Voters Want = Happy Pysicians
Dear President Bush:
I hear that you're saying that "large malpractice awards have driven up the cost of business so high that doctors have to close their businesses or scale back services". I take it that by "the cost of business" you mean "the cost of insurance". Okay. I can understand that. By reforming tort law you want to lower the cost of insurance for doctors. That's the goal right? That way, doctors won't have to pay high insurance costs and will be able to go about their business with less hassle and have more money to spend on their businesses – and on shopping and vacations and suchlike. Physicians will have a richer, better quality of life. Also, those goddamn juries will be put in their place, right? Fuckers. Judges too. I mean, who the fuck do those people think they are!? There's one goddamn queen bee per hive, and you, Mr. President, are it. Judicial Activism, meet Executive Activism – and shit your fuckin' pants! Awesome, dude.
Yo. Can you hear the howling of the unwashed? They're probably saying things like, "Why don't you do something to lower our insurance costs…what about our costs? We need food, and diapers, and $150 to pay that parking fine - and we only make $8 an hour. What about us?" Fuckin' babies. Maybe they'd be able to see a doctor if doctors in this country weren't being systematically impoverished by bloodthirsty lawyers and activist judges. Or maybe they'd be able to afford diapers if they'd get off their lazy asses and managed an international petroleum conglomerate. What're they whining to you for anyway? They ought to go ask their Daddies to introduce 'em to a few of his pals. That's how you succeed in America and if they don't know that – fuck 'em.
I love you Mr. President. Can I give you a rim-job?

"The fact that we see very little evidence of widespread physician exodus or dramatic increases in the use of defensive medicine in response to increases in state malpractice premiums places the more dire predictions of malpractice alarmists in doubt. The arguments that state tort reforms will avert local physician shortages or lead to greater efficiencies in care are not supported by our findings."

Thanks Arlo. Fantastic. Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! It doesn't matter if he's wrong because he's a republican, or a dimwit, or malicious, or evil. It matters only that he is WRONG.
I feel so powerless and alone.

Damn, Stig. That would make me feel powerless and alone, too.
