Doctors dont lie
Lawsuits are not limiting access to health care. The U.S. General Accounting Office found, after an extensive investigation, that doctors’ groups have misled, fabricated evidence, or, at the very least, wildly overstated their case about how malpractice insurance problems have limited access to health care. The only health care access problems that GAO could confirm were isolated and the result of factors having nothing at all to do with the legal system.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE: Implications of Rising Premiums on Access to Health Care
Center for Justice & Democracy letter to the American Medical Association regarding the GAO study above.
Medical malpractice costs are a tiny percentage of overall health care expenditures. Medical malpractice insurance and claims costs represent, at most, only 2 percent of overall health care spending in this country, according to both the Congressional Budget Office and the General Accounting Office.

Ask your doctor about his/her malpractice insurance.

remind me how the healthcare law has anything to do with malpractice ins ...
if anything, the influx of new patients will help offset that cost ... malpractice ins doesnt go up because a Dr sees more paitents

A healthier population is a more productive population.
Our curren system is very expensive. I have great insurance (EXPENSIVE) and even basic services are costly. I'm very healthy and it's still a burden. The doctors are usually more interested in what they're having for lunch than what ails me.
Reform IS needed in a very dire way. The AHCA was a good thing in that it sparked discussion and debate. However, I think that the politics involved have polarized people to the point that health care REFORM has taken a back seat to partisanship. Sad
The bill attempts to remedy but falls short in the support dept.
In concept, both parties like parts of the bill and the ideas within.
The problem is that instead of bipartisan negotiation to come to a workable resolution that could make lives better... We have gridlock. Sucks.
It would be nice to have reasonable representatives umm....
Representing the reasonable.

Ask your doctor. Don't look at anything as unbiased as his take on it.

Calm down. Take a deep breath. Take some medication. Fuck one of your "welfare breeder moms".
More people with health care statistically means more patients.

They are the most fun kind of bred mothers ![Wink](https://cdn-w.eccie.net/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I say get bang for your buck
More people with health care statistically means more patients.
Instead if being in the ER costing 3 k per visit
They could save tax providers like 2800 bucks by receiving routine healthcare.
If we are paying for deadbeats anyway... At
Least be pragmatic about it.

So you don't trust your doctor, CBJ7? Too bad.

I already know
obama care wont MAKE my Dr accept medicade if she already doesnt
Obamacare wont increase my Drs overhead or malpractice insurance costs
obamacre wont make my Dr quit practicing medicine
obamacare will increase my Drs patient flow because more patients will have insurance and can afford to see my Dr ...
I dont think I'll ask my Dr a sophomoric question and insult my Dr's intelligence or mine

CJ7, would you care to place a small wager on that bit about "Obabcare won't increase my Drs overhead"? Recall that this is EXACTLY what Medicare/Medicaid tried to do to Dr Journeay, my father's primary care physician.
