OK – I’m turning of my notification indicator because nobody gave me any productive feedback and all you guys did is load up my e-mail in-box notifications of with your sniping, sacrasic comments, especially you, Adjuster.
You really need to watch something other than MSLSD because Madcow and Overbite are turning you into a bitter, angry person.
Apparently it is ok to ease the impact of malpractice suits on the U.S. medical system by shifting it to the U.S. tax payers. Makes me feel so much better about the health care overhaul.
This seems like it’s just throwing a bone to the Republicans. I think most would argue that tort reform is needed, but another $25 million tax-payer dollars added to the deficit for what will probably amount to the equalivent of spitting on a fire.
…25,000,000 divided by the total of the senate bill out of conference recently 865,000,000,000 = a whopping .002% of the health care bill. So med mal is about .002% of the cost of healthcare?
Hardly. This isn’t even a bone or a crumb from an oreo cookie.
Imagine if the majority of the members of Congress were, I dont know, lets say insurance industry personnel. Imagine if those insurance industry personnel in Congress were considering legislation that would greatly enhance insurance industry profits and opportunities. Can you imagine the hue and cry of “Conflict of Interest” that would arise. And yet despite the fact that the vast majority of the members of Congress are and have been lawyers & the majority of the members of almost all state legislatures are lawyers, no one seems to care about the obvious “Conflict of Interest” which occurs
almost daily. We need to protect ourselves from these leeches who are leading the way to destroying the American way of life. How about “Conflict of Interest” legislation which forbids lawyers to serve as members of Congress or State legislatures.
PS. Hey Massachusets legislature, your hypocrisy and corruption are showing. Why not just pass a law that says whatever the Democrats want whenever a succession issue arises is legal. At least it would be more honest. Can you guys even spell “HONEST”.
What it is, is a pay off to the AMA that has supported this fraudulent president’s so-called healthcare agenda against the express wishes of most of its membership and most of the American people. It’s not going to make a damn bit of difference except to shift a minuscule amount of the total cost of malpractice litigation to the taxpayers. The plaintiffs bar who’d like us to believe they’re great humanitarians will continue to be enriched. This abominable administration will see to it, and anything else they say is just lies.

It’s sad, really.
..you da MAN!!!!
Sorry, I couldn’t stay away!!!
It’s so nice to hear the lawyers squirm. Like they really care about patient safety. If you believe that…
This is just about the first good thing Obama has done.

I am not so sure this is tort reform. The article does not say that to me.
