Doctors Boo Obama During AMA Speech Over Medical Malpractice Statements

AP: Barack Obama isn't used to hearing boos. For all the young president's popularity, the response he got Monday from doctors at an American Medical Association meeting was a sign his road is only going to get rockier as he tries to sell his plan to overhaul the nation's health care system. The boos erupted when Obama told the doctors in Chicago he wouldn't try to help them win their top legislative priority—limits on jury damages in medical malpractice cases.

Well that really chapped his butt! Maybe more people need to shout with boo’s if it will make him shut up and think! He couldn’t even read his teleprompter as well.

Hey…was that all off the cuff? It didn’t look like he was using the teleprompter. WTF

America…good for these medical professionals…this is their way of speaking up and speaking out at the crazy, crazy idea to adding yet another big spending bill that ‘WILL BREAK THE CAMELS BACK’!

This is just the beginning of the backlash!

Keep up your calls and emails…keep up marching and getting behind your conservative candidates.

Don’t give up!

Call/email your Congress and tell them that you want them to support the Ron Paul sponsored HR 1207 that will force an audit on the financial arm of the Bilderberg Society…the Federal Reserve.

The House is overwhelmingly supporting Ron Paul and this bill…they want an investigation on what took place when Merrill Lynch was bought!

Remember, America they lost $50 billion or million (hard to say anymore) of the first bailout!

Where did it go? Funneled to the Bilderbergs?

One never knows these days! There is so much going on and so many things being ramrodded through it is hard to get a handle on how fast Bilderberg Bush-Obama is destroying our country!

Good for you professionals…thank you for standing with the average middle American in helping to keep the very best healthcare in the world!

But watch your backs…this leader doesn’t like opposition to anything he does! He is full of vengeance!
===================

JUST ANOTHER PATHETIC DAY IN THE ‘REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN’ TAKING HIS MARCHING ORDERS FROM A SECRETIVE SOCIETY SEEKING TO USHER IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER THAT THEY INTEND TO RULE!

Issues, issues, issues, we all have issues!
I can guarantee that setting a cap for mal. practice would have been a real issue!
“O yes, lets let those sorry fucks on Wall Street and in the banks brake America’s back and have golden parachutes with NO CAPS, but GOD forbid, the little man looking for compensation for medical malpractice should be capped!”

“More of the same, might as well had been McCain!”
Obama is a puppet, just like Bush and Clinton, and Bush and Reagan, Ford and Nixon!
PUPPETS TO THE ELITE!

AMA – be forewarned. When Obama says he wants to “work with you” he really means he wants the federal government to take you over, even by blackmail, and dictate what you’ll do.

It sounds like someone other than Fox News is examining Obama’s policies. He gets so irritable when people don’t fawn over his speeches…like the one he gave in Cairo where afterwards he thought he had influenced the Iranian elections! Dope.

To Patriot, I don’t like Wall Street bailouts either, but medical malpractice insurance affects our rates and our services. There are some places where it is becoming more difficult to find an Ob Gyn for birthing babies thanks to John Edwards and his lawsuits related to downs syndrome babies. Edwards has probably single handidly increased medical costs to the consumer and limited services more than any other person in the US due to the massive judgements from his aggressive medical malpractice business. We need to weed out bad doctors, certainly.

But Obama wants these premiums high because:
1) trial lawyers backed him during the election
2) by applying medical malpratice premiums to the cost of private healthcare, his socialist/public healthcare plan looks reasonable in comparison.

So I have every idea that WHEN he takes over healthcare, he’ll limit judgements for people who sue the system.
