Last night, Barack Obama said:
Now, I don’t believe malpractice reform is a silver bullet, but I’ve talked to enough doctors to know that defensive medicine may be contributing to unnecessary costs. So — so — so I’m proposing that we move forward on a range of ideas about how to put patient safety first and let doctors focus on practicing medicine. I know that the Bush administration considered authorizing demonstration projects in individual states to test these ideas. I think it’s a good idea, and I’m directing my secretary of health and human services to move forward on this initiative today.
Kathleen Sebelius, the former Governor of Kansas, is the current Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Note this from her biography:
Sebelius served as executive director and chief lobbyist for the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association (now Kansas Association for Justice) from 1977-1986.
So, do we really think she’s going to do anything other than skew the results?

bk (Diary) Thursday, September 10th at 3:53PM EST (link)Vouchers were tried in DC. They proved wildly successful in results and parents loved them. The Democrats and Obama killed them anyway.
With wording like that, is it possible to produce anything other than skewed statistical results?

Does anything actually happen in this administration?

And, man, HAS he TALKED. He will not shut up! My kindergartner talks less. Just put a wind-turbine out front of the Oval Office. Unlimited energy FOREVER (or three more years…).
