Obama’s Air Force One flight to Chicago and back Monday to cost $236,000
As President Barack Obama flies Monday to Chicago for a midday speech on health-care reform, the round trip on Air Force One will run about $236,000, according to government estimates of the operating costs for one of the top symbols, and perks, of the presidency.
But that does not include such expenses as Secret Service protection, motorcades and helicopter transports.
Doctors’ boos show Obama’s tough road
The boos erupted when Obama told the doctors in Chicago he wouldn’t try to help them win their top legislative priority—limits on jury damages in medical malpractice cases.
What the hell have I been saying for a long time? You want to fix health care then fix the tort system, it’s not rocket science and you don’t need to be a M.D. or J.D. to figure it out and I could go on and on and on about it and how to fix that doesn’t involve government other than allowing caps in monetary tort claims, that’s all the the government involvement you need. I don’t like the word “regulation” or “regulate” but facts are health care cost is out of control, however government is not the choice to fix it.
If the Doctors don’t feel like they’re going to be sued blinded by ever numb-nuts that walks through the door then perhaps they’ll stop requesting every stupid test in the book most of which are not needed but given in fear and you pay for it.
For the record I’ve told my Doctor that if they want to give me a bunch of “don;t sue me” test… then they can pay for them, I’m not.
