It was just hilarious to see him pull the, well, it's just fortunate that nobody got killed, and really, we wouldn't have any insurance at all if we didn't have to live with high deductibles.

As for medical malpractice, I'm really waiting for him to discuss the benefits of that one. I already know what he's going to face because my mother just went through it. A doctor is going to sever an artery while attempting to reopen a badly placed stent in the heart; and that doctor will tell you to your face that he botched the operation; and all you can do is watch her die slowly as her heart fills with fluid, until she makes one major effort to get out of bed and the artery ruptures all together. And don't you think I won't throw that in his face. Because I will be sure to tell him that I'll remind his Repub wife, if she survives him, that he would not have approved a malpractice lawsuit if it happens to him.
