He gave me chest x-rays, sinus x-rays, blood test, etc. which is compared to when I would go to a doctor in Canada I wouldn't get any of those tests. A lot of people in the US are so sue happy in the US they will try to find anything to sue someone.
The fact that congress or the senate won't even look at tort reform shows that they are either all lawyers are get a lot of money from lawyers and really don't want to piss them off.
As for corrupt I guess telling people to pass the bill to find out what's in it like what Pelosi said doesn't sound corrupt to you. Both the Democrats and Republicans are beholden to special interests (this includes Obama), and both parties are to blame for whats wrong in the US today.

He gave you all those tests so he could charge you for them, not to cover his ass.
Both parties are tied to special interest that's true, but one party is completely tied and one is partially tied. I already went over that in one of my posts. The only Republicans who aren't tied to special interests are Ron Paul and, I think, Rand Paul. Pelosi and the house passed the Public Option which would be real reform and really hurt the insurance companies. So how exactly is that corrupt or tied to special interests? You can't just say you don't like Pelosi, some proof of corruption is required.
