Senate OKs bill allowing health-care reform suit

Veto this bill Governor. Federal law supersedes state law, suing will get you nowhere.

We need this healthcare. I'm willing to see what happens.

Gov. Henry, Please, please, please veto this bill. Brodgon and Ritze are an embarrasement to this state!

"the Goldwater Institute has offered to represent the state at no cost."

No cost. Sign it.

Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the
incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man- and birds and
four footed animals and creeping things.
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their
hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the
truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather
than the Creator, who is blessed forever, Amen

This explains our dilemma very accurately.

GREAT QUOTE

( Too bad we don't know who wrote it....)


"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of
entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit
and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary
common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a
man
for their president.


The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a
mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not
blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.


The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a
multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

"It would also prohibit the federal government from dictating how doctors choose to care for their patients." But, it's okay for Oklahoma legislators to dictate how doctors care for their (women) patients?!

"...the state recently passed lawsuit reform to deal with frivolous lawsuits but that there is no evidence that it has reduced the cost of health care or resulted in health insurance for more Oklahomans." Surprise! And, the "reform" amounted to Oklahoma taxpayers picking up the tab for malpractice awards in excess of the "cap". Oklahoma physicians now only need maintain $400,000 in malpractice coverage (versus the previous $1 million ... still haven't heard from anyone that his/her charge for an office visit was reduced). Oklahoma taxpayers are subsidizing the difference! The insurers of Oklahoma didn't lose a cent! But, that's what the Okie yahoos wanted!

Seymore1965...Do you know what this healthcare bill is going to do to Senior Citizens?????? I am seventy-seven years old and have been told by two of my Doctors that they are considering either retiring or changing fields!!! There is already a shortage of family physicians and they are adding thirty million more people to healthcare??? My Dr said he would have to call a mediating board (approved by the Obama administration) to get an approval to treat me in the manner he deams necessary. I heard Obama, myself, say that some of us would probably have to take pain pills instead of having hip surgery or whatever treatment I needed. They (Obama administration) are taking fify billion dollars out of the medicare system in order to set up another
Medicaid type account...there will be nothing left to treat to senior citizens!!! I agree we need healthcare reform...why don't they correct the flaws in our current system instead of starting from scratch??? Eighty percent of the American people are satisfied with their insurance they have now!!!!
Have a heart for the ones of us who will suffer the most!!! The Obama administration has put the senior citizens on the "death" list and most of us have no other means of paying for our illnesses. DO YOU CARE SEYMORE1965?

“It would also prohibit the federal government from dictating how doctors choose to care for their patients."

Interesting comment from Sen. Brogdon.

However, it does seem to contradict the recent abortion legislation, that the Senator supported...that would prevent a doctor from advising his client.....

Razor1911...My Doctor told me he had been to a meeting with a large group of Doctors and they were all told that their decision of how to treat their patients will have to be ruled on by the government mediating board and their decision could be in favor of the treatment wanted by the Doctor or the board may rule differently. So...the government board has the last word.

tea, I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of Sen Brogdon's comments...if you are too dense to see that, then you are the epitome of the myopic one-track mindset of your movement....

Let me think....hmm tea party, I'll bet your doctor is a Republican. I'll bet he is one who hates socialized medicine so much that he has written protest letters against the looming Medicare payment cuts.

Oklahoma legislators, reducing Oklahoma one lame lawsuit at a time. Please veto this crude of a bill, Governor!

Skeptic...Wrong, wrong, wrong! My doctor and I are both independents...we both left the democratic party. I was a registered and voting democrat for about fifty years and suddenly I could no longer recognize the Democrat party...so, I am now a registered Independent.
Want to shake the cobwebs out of your brain and think it over again????

Tea Party, apparently you don't recognize that your insurance company decides on what treatments you can and can't have NOW -- based on what is most profitable for them. An independent non-profit mediating board, if there really is such a thing, would undoubtedly render better decisions for patients.
