Greedy Trial Lawyer
President Bush Tries Cattle Prods On Congress
Category: Why Didn't I Think Of That?
President Bush, fresh from his Texas ranch, is now using cattle prods to drive Congress to action on medical malpractice damage caps before his Republican herd is stampeded out of Washington in November.
The Washington Post headlines the story - Bush prods Congress on medical liability limits.
"These trial lawyers need to back off," Bush told a health care forum before attending a fund-raiser for Minnesota Republican candidates for Congress.Bush campaigned for the presidency on an agenda that included capping malpractice damages, arguing that they were driving up the cost of health care. However, with three months before the November elections where control of Congress is up for grabs, the chances of legislation becoming law are slim.
It is not clear whether the cattle prods are being used to drive the Democrats off or to move the Republicans forward.
