I experienced this on another thread with MM about cost/benefits of US interventionism. MM read my responses a particular way and then there was no correcting him or escaping his projections. I called in my wife to see what she thought, because it made me feel somewhat insane. But, she agreed there was a weird inflexibility from him in the exchanges partly because he was not reading my posts correctly. I decided to let it drop -- b/c such back and fourths become circular and irritating to other readers.
Anyway yesterday I debunked MM's claims regarding frivolous lawsuits being related to health care costs and physicians practicing medicine. These are important facts because Tort Reform in practice has generally enriched insurance companies, maybe decreased insurance premium costs for doctors, but not lowered heath care costs for consumers while concurrently restricting citizens' rights to seek civil justice in courtrooms and before juries.
When you really investigate Tort Reform and its underlying myths -- you see all the workings of corrupt policy-making wherein public officials help narrow special interests while claiming untrue public benefits for everyone else.
He'd hear none of it; to do so would have required too much humility. I was kind of shocked. But it made me think of the arguments going on here.
Ah, no. Totally bullshit.
In both threads, you CHANGED THE SUBJECT and then pouted because I wouldn't play the game on your new -- and irrelevant -- turf.
That doctors have to pay high malpractice premiums that impacts their income sufficiently to disagree practitioners was the point.
YOU (1) decided you wanted to talk about tort reform instead and (2) pretend doctors don't have to pay this because you wanted to talk about medical errors instead.
You want to talk to me on an issue, address the issue.
Yup -- that's gonna be inflexible.
