Can you explain to me why neither side has ...Sir -<br /><br />Can you explain to me why neither side has picked up and trumpted tort reform as one of the easiest, most effective and money-saving measures for health care reform? You want to know why our health care costs so much? Look in to how much it costs to insure a specialist for one year. Government - public plan or not - cannot lower the cost of health care. It can simply mandate care, and then refuse to pay the bill. Reforming the tort laws would save hundreds of millions. I am optimistic enough to believe this could happen, but cynical enough to think both parties are face-down in the feed bin of campaign donations. I would appreciate a blog about this topic; I feel it is under addressed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048405844159177205.post-81169724325303139492009-08-27T13:50:30.796-05:002009-08-27T13:50:30.796-05:00I did not know about Color of change. Yeah I agree...I did not know about Color of change. Yeah I agree, that's silly. I think we should all not watch him because he is a dishonest and ignorant hack ... but an organized boycott? I don't see a need for it.

Now, I find this distasteful and see no evidence to support So I obviously disagree with Beck. But the guy is also entitled to his opinion. We shouldn't tread on that entitlement by engaging in an organized effort to shut him up, just because we don't like what he says.Nathan M.

And his comments are much more prone to incite violence and fuel ignorance. <br /><br />But the boycott there is a little different. In Beck's case sponsors are boycotting the asshole.Dr. Matthew Wionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250689234468638382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048405844159177205.post-42243839779170105912009-08-27T01:37:22.471-05:002009-08-27T01:37:22.471-05:00What do you think about boycotting Glenn Beck?What do you think about boycotting Glenn Beck?Nathan M.
