Exactly...like Edwards who would never get my vote and I'd be sure to tell anyone why.

  I notice that Nick left out a critcal element in the health care issue: LAWYERS.
  How much of the high cost is a direct result of sleazy litigators and their often frivolous lawsuits, which result in higher malpractice insurance costs, which are then passed on to consumers?
  One of the hardest hit areas in medicine is in the OB specialty and many highly qualified practitioners are leaving it because of outrageous insurance costs. 
  When are people going to learn that doctors are not miracle workers, people die. Things don't always work out as planned or hoped, an unforseen complication here an alergic reaction there and, suddenly, a greezy shyster shows up and says its worth millions.
  This isn't to say that doctors shouldn't be held accountable for their mistakes, they should, but there are things out of their control as well.
  Get the scuzzball attorneys under control first, then see what happens. But we know that won't happen with the number of sharks we've elected to national office. They'll protect their own.
