I would like to pose this question to any Senator worth their salt (assuming the senator is not a attorney). Why is TORT REFORM not a major component of this bill? Studies performed by http://www.BenefitsManager.net and http://www.DentalInsuranceUtah.net that liability insurance costs are approaching nearly one third of the operating expenses for specialty care physicians, units and facilities. Aside from medical provider costs, insurance carriers such as Humana Health Plans state that their costs of medical liability and defensive medicine accounts for nearly 10 cents out of every premium dollar collected (verified). Compare that to Humana’s reported pharmaceutical claims of 15 cents out of every premium dollar collected. Or better yet, 21 cents out of every premium dollar collected is paid back to physicians for physician treatments. Without TORT REFORM, medical provider costs will never drop.

We are an entrepreneurial manufacturing company that, with a little innovation, hard working people, and a lot of help from a gracious God, has been able to grow and prosper. We are a company that still hires people, pays taxes and builds products that help others. We are the kind of “Made in America” small business that politicians refer to as the backbone of our economy.
But, like never before we fear for our future, perhaps even our ability to survive. We do not fear off shore manufacturers, other companies with better ideas nor the ups and downs that will occur in any economy.
What we fear is our own out-of-control government, with its “too big to fail” bailouts, back-room giveaways and irresponsible spending. Congress and the White House are ignoring the working, employing and taxpaying Americans that keep this nation afloat. Our government is shamelessly manipulating numbers, facts and messages to gain more control and more power. They are handing out massive pay-offs and bribes with money we work to earn…money that our unborn children will be on the hook for.
Why is it that, when Iran is defying the world to develop nuclear weapons and millions of Americans must now start their days without jobs, Healthcare Reform, Cap & Tax and Global Warming are at the top of this government’s “gotta do now” list ?
These things have virtually nothing to do with improving healthcare, producing affordable energy or creating jobs. They are but long-standing goals of political movements to gain control of vast aspects of everyone’s lives and incomes. All with our money, but without our permission.
A 2,409 page Senate bill…Ridiculous. A 1,990 page House bill…Ludicrous.
By comparison, the legislation that created Social Security was just 82 pages and even fewer pages were necessary to declare our independence. A truism in life is that the bigger the contract, the more one should suspect that contract.
We are told to believe that the Federal Government will streamline healthcare. This from the same Government that has failed to effectively manage Social Security, Medicare, the Post Office, Amtrak and a 23-year old with a bomb in his underwear.
Democrat, Republican, Independent or Tea Party Patriot…label us if you will, but we are an awakening giant of hard-working Americans, fed-up with governmental incompetence, arrogance and self serving behaviors. Enough with the closed door negotiations and corrupt deals that are destroying our economy and our country. We are Americans and will not allow a few hundred people, elected or not, to take down what so many have struggled and even died to build and protect.
