The Push to Fix Health Care Continues
David Streeter — January 19, 2010 – 8:45 pm | Democrats | Domestic Policy | Health Care Comments (1) Add a commentIra N. Forman, NJDC’s CEO, published the following op-ed in Politico’s Arena following Tuesday’s election results:
As unfortunate as tonight’s loss by Martha Coakley was in the Massachusetts special election for the United States Senate, one fact remains clear: the push to fix our nation’s broken health care system must continue, and we must complete this critical task as quickly as possible. Regardless of the outcome of any one race, health insurance reform remains a moral and fiscal imperative of our time. Clear majorities agree—in Congress, among doctors, and among the American people. And within the organized Jewish community, there is a virtual consensus surrounding the need for urgent change.
Our Jewish tradition teaches us to pursue justice. And despite tonight’s unfortunate election outcome, we must continue to pursue justice. We will work to help achieve comprehensive health care reform as soon as possible.

Does our Jewish tradition teach us that special interest groups such as Trial Lawyers should dictate health care reform without the discussion of Tort Reform? Or is it that we just have too many Trial Lawyers selectively dictating this policy? How about NJDC taking a position on this topic, or is it that there are just too many lawyers involved with NJDC?
