During a live debate with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Friday, Nevada's Republican Sen. Dean Heller was asked which part of Obamacare he would repeal now that the law has enrolled 8 million people. "No one talks about tort reform," he said on News 3's What's Your Point? There's a reason for that.
A pet health care reform idea among the GOP is changes to medical malpractice lawsuits — the only problem is tort reform doesn't do anything to lower health care spending. But it shows that as the law continues to do better, Republicans have to reshape their talking points beyond ending it. Here's how the GOP is talking about Obamacare (and the movement to repeal and replace it) now. Notice how they've moved from broadly talking about ending it to smaller complaints about how well it's working:as far as tort that just seems like republicans shielding doctors from malpractice suits but what of the ones that are legitimate claims under tort they would just be collateral damage, aqnd as stated it does nothing to contain cost so what is this guy talking about?
Say the numbers aren't real. Heller also added that the 8 million number isn't real. "Keep in mind, we have 30 million people who are uninsured. We have 30 million people today that are uninsured. And yet he keeps talking about this 8 million number being a success story," Heller said. "I don't buy it. I think it's all smoke and mirrors." Actually, there were 49.9 million uninsured Americans in 2010 according to the Census Bureau.this is a moronic explanation just like their rant against job growth reality is 100,000 plus beats hell out of -750,000 loss a month, with all their obstruction and misleading 8 million is gold beats estimate of 7 million. this is an effort to minimize the significance of the positive numbers by belittling the totals in both incidents they exceed with no help still from the republicans.
think what numbers would be if they did their jobs and stopped misleading Americans in need.
