[...] that Obama just makes up numbers that can’t be proven and declares them to the public to deceive them. Remember the line, “Our stimulus bill has saved millions of jobs!”. No way to prove [...]

“i might see if i could induce another outcome with the mother’s milk of politics.”

I find it hard to believe all of these folks are the kind of folks IF Obama was pulling Chicago extortion politics given the nature of the beast regarding the health care industry that none of them would complain.

Was wondering today, what would you guys think of some plan that worked like this.

Doctors (and nurses and physicians assistants) would be allowed to form medical cooperatives… sort of like private practices, with a few incentives to get them to care for those who can’t afford insurance.

1. 20% of their care must go toward providing basic services to those who can’t afford insurance (who would be issued Federal Medical cards confirming program eligibility). The cost of routine office visits, check-ups, pre-natal care, tests, and so forth is fully deductible from their business taxes. The Federal government starts a program to pay for more involved treatments.

2. In return for keeping at least 20% of their practice focused on the needy, they receive immunity from malpractice suits, except in cases of gross negligence. Suits involving allegations of gross negligence must be cleared by a panel of independent doctors.

This is in addition to my previous idea where the Federal Government creates a public insurance plan to care for certain high-expense, catastrophic health events like cancer and organ transplants.

my concern is that these are the people who the gubmint will be regulating, and in this face to face time, was the question of contributions discussed? if i get a call into the white house and the prez says i’m going to nationalize your business, i might see if i could induce another outcome with the mother’s milk of politics. chavez understands it, and so does castro. obozo doesn’t strike me as any different.

Sorry but maybe I’m missing something here. What exactly is the beef? That they met with these people AND didn’t release the information OR that he met with these people?

In forming health care coverage policy why would I be upset that the President met with people in the health care industry?

Tauzin was a democrat before he was a republican before he was a healthcare jockey. I’m surprised Hussein hasn’t gone after Tauzin for his extraordinary level of personal income.
