I did not hear the president's speech last night. However, I heard part of an interview with him on Nightline. During that interview he said that he is very interested in changing the way health care is delivered in the United States. I found that to be a very clarifying comment. It really gets down to the crux of this whole health care reform issue. And it depresses me so much that half the country is okay with that.
Honestly, who is he (a lawyer and politician) to tell doctors how they should deliver their product. It is not the role of government to do that. Congress needs to back off and find another way to deal with people who cannot afford their own medical care (i.e., insurance reform, healthy lifestyles, tort reform, etc.).
If they do pass this huge, sweeping, reform bill, then someone needs to write a law that puts the American Medical Association in charge of reforming the legal profession.
