- Why health care reform does not include tort reform?

- Hillary Clinton was recently in Pakistan telling the leadership that they do no have to take our money. Why are we giving away millions of dollars to a Muslim nation in the first place? Why are we giving aid we cannot afford to give? Why are we spending astronomically more than is necessary to stimulate the economy? What do you intend to do when inflation renders the value of the dollar not worth the paper it is printed on, and it takes a wheelbarrow full of greenbacks to buy a loaf of bread?
Very good questions, and hopefully you also won't mind asking:
-If you're going to have "Tort Reform" (limiting patients' malpractice claims), then why not also put a limit on health insurance profits (which from 2000 to 2007, rose 428 percent for the top 10 companies)?
-Or, why are health insurance companies currently denying over 1 in 5 of every health claim (which begs the other question, what the heck are we paying for)?
- And while we're on the subject of "foreign aid", why are we continuing to give Israel over $2.5 BILLION a year in money and weapons, especially so they can use it to beat up on the Palestinians, and only further fuel the Middle East's hatred of the U.S.?
