Medical Crisis

Medical malpractice suits are out of control in Pennsylvania. Doctors are leaving Pennsylvania.
Comprehensive medical malpractice reform is working in California. 
Arlen Specter has been a consistent opponent of tort reform. Trial Lawyers have given Senator Specter millions of dollars to his campaign. Specter opposes medical malpractice reform, which Pennsylvia needs. Specter supports caps on malpractice suits. The Pa. Medical Society endorses Specter. Specter has a solid approach including Healthcare, the National institute of Health, and medical reform.
Specter voted against the McConnell Amendment to reduce attorney's fees. Specter opposed the Thomas Amendment to protect OB/GYN doctors from being sued. Specter also voted against the Kyle Amendment to limit non economic damages to $500,000. Specter joins with the Democrats in opposing tort reform generally. This is wrong for Pa. because we need access to quality healthcare. 
===Medical Crisis Drug prices, HMOs===
 Go back to the constitution. Nowhere in it does it authorize any of us at all to do anything about medical benefits. Many in government have a specially-modified constitution that must state, "THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY LIKE."
=== Seniors can't afford prescription drugs because they are forced to pay an arm and a leg in property tax. ===
Our taxes are so high because government has grown 3 and 1/2 times the rate of inflation for the past 40 years. 
=== Seniors can't afford their medicines anymore.=== 
Their high taxes, their ridiculously high, inhuman property taxes, make it so seniors can't afford to live in their own homes. They've caused the problem in the first place. Then they say, "come on back! I'll give you another government program, then another program, then another!"
To believe in principles, not programs, we can accomplish much more for our seniors. We start with a stop. Stop taxing everyone so much. Stop taxing the little guys with such a high deed transfer tax. That tax makes it so folks won't buy the homes of the seniors. Seniors should be able to move freely. Seniors homes should not be held in a depressed state with such a heavy tax burden. 
A cheaper ways to pay for prescription drugs side-steps the money from going to Harrisburg. Money isn't going to come back to your Grandma and Grandpa once it enters the government's hands. It's a bad deal we should work hard at avoiding.
If we kept that money local, you could help ten times as many people in your own neighborhood. They caused the problem. Don't let them try to solve it.
