Yes, I Know. Too Easy.

This is friggin’ hysterical.

I guess he’s correct. You’re really not supposed to touch a woman there unless you love her, right?

    I actually had to track down the video and see it for myself to believe it (it’s on MSNBC). His handlers should start giving him little electric shocks every time he starts speaking off the cuff.

    Obstricians Practicing Their Love

    This is hilarious. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard an obstetrician’s job described as “love.” I don’t think many of their patients would describe it that way. I think the President is a good man and a good leader, but…

    Would this be considered a catastrophic success?

    “Everybody told me, ‘God, if you’re coming to Canonsburg, you’ve got to find time to go to Toy’s, and he’ll take care of you,’” Mr. Kerry said, dropping the name of a restaurant his motorcade had passed on the way in. “I understand it’s my kind of place, because you don’t have to – you know, when they give you the menu, I’m always struggling: Ah, what do you want?

    “He just gives you what he’s got, right?” Mr. Kerry added, continuing steadily off a gangplank of his own making: “And you don’t have to worry, it’s whatever he’s cooked up that day. And I think that’s the way it ought to work, for confused people like me who can’t make up our minds.”

    It may not have been the best way of expressing it, but what he says has some truth.

    I am a single, 46-year-old professional man who has never spent one night in a hospital.

    My health insurance premiums just shot up over 25% this year, to nearly $700 per month.

    Yes, something needs to be done.

    The Kerry comment was a clumsy bit of self-deprecating humor, politically unwise given the flip-flop attack strategy.

    The Bush comment appeared to involve his own brain suddenly deciding to go out for pizza without telling him.

    thook is right. The fact that the “leader” of the “free” world could be such a dope is anything but funny.

    “My health insurance premiums just shot up over 25% this year, to nearly $700 per month.

    Yes, something needs to be done.”

    It’s not lawsuits that are doing that.

    According to the CBO, the total cost of malpractice suits in the US in 2002 was approximately $24 billion.

    The CBO also estimates that significant tort reform would reduce that by $6 or $7 billion per year.

    Wow, that’s a lot, you say.

    Except the total cost of healthcare in 2003 was $1.557 Trillion, up $110 billion from 2002.

    So if tort reform were enacted, healthcare would have risen $103 billion, instead of $110 billion.

    Malpractice costs are a drop in the ocean.

    Now, there may be something to the claims that malpractice insurance is driving doctors out of the profession, but that has little to do with your premiums.

    (Figurin’ not my own. I got it from Kash at AngryBear: http://angrybear.blogspot.com/2004/09/bushs-solution-to-rising-health-care.html)

    It was Elizabeth Edwards, of all people, giving Bush a “pass” pointing out on Countdown with Keith Olbermann that Bush probably meant “livelihood” instead of “love.”

    She’s a better person than I, giving Bush a pass on his brainfreeze. I wonder if his negotiations with foreign powers are heavily scripted or if he’s allowed to go “off the cuff.”

  14. #14 |  failureman | 

    The argument about lawsuits being the cause of the high cost of health care is specious. Here in wisconsin we average 109 total payouts per year, and the vast majority of these are for small amounts on the order of a few thousand dollars. This represents a tiny fraction of the total cost of health care. This is generally true nationwide, studies of places like california which has a cap on damage awards shows that the caps have almost no effect on insurance premiums. Of course it is popular and easy to bash lawyers even though this kind of “reform” is a red herring.

    Well, at least a ‘dreaded’ plaintiff’s attorney knew what he was talking about then… And was gracious enough to let it slide…

  16. #16 |  DJB | 

    Subtracting the amount paid out in malpractice hardly accounts for the money spent in healthcare that concerns malpractice legalities. The amount of â??cover your ass medicineâ? that must be done is outrageous. Any test remotely indicated in ruling out possible disease must be done if it has been established as the â??standard of medicineâ?. What is in the best interest of the patient is no longer the controlling factor in medical treatment. Its is the fear of litigation.

  17. #17 |  doc tom | 

    doesnt more doctors mean more competition and therefore reduced costs? and if malpractice insurance can be linked to reducing the number of competing doctors wouldnt it have an effect on healthcare costs other than direct payouts?
