LIABILITY UPDATE by Donna Baver Rovito

Conversely, although Rick's opponent SAYS that health care is his "number one priority," his ideas are all wrong. 

Bob Casey, Jr. supports government-run health care plans that would cause great damage to our health care system, as well as outsourcing production of prescription drugs to foreign nations which don't meet the FDA's high standards, jeopardizing both Pennsylvania jobs and Pennsylvania patients.  He denies that a medical liability crisis exists, even though only 7.8% of residents trained in PA stayed in PA to practice in 2004, and he opposes measures that would improve the legal climate in PA and attract young doctors to practice here.  This is a dangerous attitude, as both Pennsylvania's citizens AND Pennsylvania's doctors are growing older.  Plus, Casey has consistently avoided members of the medical community during this campaign, as well as refusing to answer questions from most medical publications or physician advocacy groups.  If health care really is his "number one priority," wouldn't he want input from physicians and other health care professionals, as well as from the lawyers who support his campaign?

Bottom line - Rick Santorum has a long record of supporting the medical profession and health care in general.  This Tuesday, he needs YOUR support, so he can continue to advocate for patients, physicians and everyone else who cares about quality health care.

Please copy this letter and add your name to the list of health care leaders below. Then, email, give, or send it to everyone you know. Use your email address book, holiday card list or office Rolodex.  Carry copies everywhere you go between now and Tuesday.

Take some time to call family and friends and ask for their support this weekend.  Contact your local campaign office or go to www.RickSantorum.com to volunteer.  Make sure that you, your family and your office staff VOTE on Tuesday.

Rick Santorum has been YOUR voice in the U.S. Senate....and his opponent has shown that he will be the voice of the personal injury lawyers who support him.  Whose voice will be better for America's health?

Now, more than ever, Rick needs your support so he can continue to do medicine's work in the U.S. Senate.

Please vote for your patients on Tuesday.  Please support Rick Santorum for U.S. Senate. 

We do.

Sincerely,
