    I strongly resent the obvious political taint represented in this article. You are clearly in the Bush camp! How can you criticize the Kerry-Edwards ticket so easily when he didn’t even mention why you’ll be voting for Bush-Cheney?

    How did Kerry and Edwards get elected as
    Sentors. Are the people of Massachusetts
    and North Carolina so stupid that they
    would put the likes of these two in office. I think Massachusetts is because
    they have Kennedy too. I certantly hope
    there is not enough of these same STUPID
    PEOPLE to put them in the White House.
    I just hope God doens’t let this happen.

    Do you think that because Mr. Edwards is a personal injury attorney and therefore part of the problem he doesn’t want to recognize the problem?

    John Edwards became rich with the cases he won in personal injury. He is definitely part of the problem. I don’t believe John Kerry understands the overall problem of this medical crisis. He is far too removed from it. I did not realize that both Kerry and Edwards blocked this kind of solution as found in CA. I am happy to read about what the PIAA has stated in reference to this crisis and I know where my vote is going.

    The trial lawyers will stop at nothing to maintain the status quo. There is no reform being offered by the Democrats. I work in the industry, 70% OF ALL CASES are closed with NO payment. EVERY YEAR. If we eliminate the cases, rates would be significantly reduced.

    Spoken like a true bush-bot. Open your eyes and see the forest for the trees!

    I understand Edwards was one of those plaintiffs attorneys who wasn’t bad to deal with, but I don’t know for certain. Everyone who handles insurance claims will admit there are some attorneys who are better to deal with and actually take meritorious cases. THen there are the phone book cover guys….

    The reference to God is also Bush-tastic. Bring God into it and imply that a vote for Kerry/Edwards is akin to a vote for the devil. Oh spare me! Open your eyes and look at what our overgrown frat boy has done to this country in just over three years! Go ahead, listen to “Rush” and “follow the money”. Over a billion dollars of business done by the Saudis and the Bush Family. Halliburton receiving all their money even when under investigation.

    God save us if we have another 4 years of this kind of corruption, graft, and complete incompetence.

    Don’t even get me started on attacking Iraq! Go ahead and stick your head in the sand with your hero and claim even if there were no WMD or plans to obtain any and claim its justified. WHY??? Why indeed.

    If you really want to read and think about medmal reform, stay away from simple minded people like Mr. VanZant and internet forums and stick to the facts. Here is one place you can start.

    Actually, where I work its closer to 80% closed without indemnity payment.

    Even without the non-meritorious claims, there would be some payments. Kerry/Edwards has a plan floated to have cases reviewed by a panel to determine if they are meritorious before being allowed to bring suit. Sounds great, but constitutionality is a problem!

    K – don’t you know that you cannot speak out and say anything negative about G-Dummy without being un-American!!! Forget about free speech and freedom of religion and place your vote for Bush or we will be attacked by terrorists!!
