Mr. Santorum Please Step Up....
Thursday, February 17, 2005

Hey folks, just wanted to point out some more hyprocrisy on the right, and today's target is none other than Mr. Rick Santorum, ultra rightwing conservative from Pennsylvania. Mr. Rick is currently stumping for tort reform, he wants to limit damages at $200,000 and to eliminate those ambulance chasers we have polluting out society. That's fine, he has his right but what you don't know is, Mr. Rick's wife just settled a lawsuit against her chiropractor for a total of $350,000 in damages stemming form a 96 incident that she said left her permanently damaged. She originally asked for $500,000 but it went down to $350,000. Now if her husband had his way, she would be only skating out of there with $200,000 max. Coincidence that this was settled before any legislation has been drawn up, I think not. So its ok for the republican sleazeballs to sue and get their fair share but for the rest of us, we must settle for what they deem reasonable. Can you say HYPROCRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand and am well aware of frivilous lawsuits out there but don't go around the country telling me that in order to lower health care costs, we need to eliminte the ability to sue doctors. I got an idea, maybe the US govt should buy drugs from the Pharmacuticals not just the HMOs. I bet we could get a better rate as opposed to a number of smaller grps buying drugs. But nah, thats just crazy talk, we can't do that, its too close to socialism. So we are stuck with high medical costs because we have for profit outfits managing our healthcare who's only concern are their bottom lines and their stockholders.

Before I forget, Mr Rick has yet another skeleton in his closet. In Pennsylvania, elected officials need to live in their district so Mr Rick had gone out and purchased a house so he would be eligable to run. Well does Mr Rick live there, no he does not, he rents the house out and most likely pockets the money. What happened to following the rules, I guess it does not apply to this scoundrel. Mr Rick, your days are numbered, come 2006 you will be unemployed and will have to live off your wifes settlement.
