(Giving a speech at the American Medical Association.)
"My signature on a bill is not enough. I need your help, doctors. We listen to you. We trust you. That's why I will listen to you and work with you to pursue reform that works for you. I recognize that it will be hard to make some of these changes if doctors feel like they're constantly looking over their shoulders for fear of lawsuits...."
[Yay! Horray! He's going to finally make healthcare cheap again like it was before the Great Society.]
"Don't get too excited yet.... Just hold onto your horses here guys.... I -- I -- I -- I want to be honest with you. I'm not advocating, uh, caps on malpractice rules, which I believe, uh -- I personally believe can be unfair to people who, uh, have wrongfully harmed. I want to work with the AMA so we can scale back the excessive defensive medicine that reinforces our current system, and shift to a system where we are providing better care rather than simply more treatment."
[Well, we should've known that was too good to be true.]
Note: About the bold print, when liberal democrats use indirect adjectives like "better" or "smarter" (Kerry: I would've done it smarter than Bush), it's just their way of saying "we have no idea how it could've be done "better" or "smarter;" we're either going to do same thing and say we did it differently, or we're going to do it our way and say it was a better idea no matter what the result is."
