Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't a major contributor to the cost of health care going up the cost of malpractice insurance? Didn't Pres Bush try to get that under control by limiting the amount that doctors could be sued for? If I remember correctly it was democrats like Patty Murrey, who are fat with campaign contributions from trial lawyers who blocked this proposal. To say that Pres Bush had a direct impact on the cost of health insurance is more than a little misleading. There are many factors that have played a part.

The President never said he wanted to totaly privatize social security. He said that he wanted to give people an option with a percentage of their social security. The liberals implying that the plan was to totaly privatize social security is simply a half truth designed to scare the public.
