I don't suppose there's any point in bringing up tort reform again. Like putting a limits on how much someone can reasonably sue doctors and hospitals. If Obama was serious about lowering health care costs he could have approached it from a different angle. Insurance has been high because costs have been high, and costs have been high because doctors and hospitals need to be able to absorb the cost of exorbitant malfeasance awards.

It would be easy enough to reform the health care system without nationalising it, but after fixing the problems that drive up costs there would be no reason to put it under government control.

With the libs it's all about control. "Reforming the system" is code for controling it. It's like when someone points and cries out "Racist!" To find the racist, just follow the finger back to the hand and up the arm of the one pointing... misdirection and outright lying in order to gain or maintain control.
