One of the biggest problems I see right now is that Americans are sue happy and the insurance premiums doctors now have to pay is outrageous. Healthcare needs to be fixed. Give me choices, but don't force your choices on me. I am a big girl and capable of making up my own mind about who I want to see, what I want to have done, and how much I am willing to pay.
We won't be socializing medicine. We are not going to take over the hospitals, big pharma, and make doctors government employees.

That's what socialized medicine would be and nobody anywhere is talking about bringing socialized medicine to this country except for the right wing punditry.
