    I hope the good doctor stands firm, and can get other medical providers to go along with his plan. I thinks it\’s great!

    Not suprising that these legislators along with Oklahoma\’s recently re-elected governor, have fought Mal-Practice Reform, Tort Reform & WC Reform at every opportunity.

    Guess the brotherhood of trial lawyers creates a stronger bond than a conscience ever could….. Probably pays better, too!

    It is the same old game that has always been played in OK and most southern states. Make the laws so that when you leave the House and return to private practice, you can sue the ^$*(# off of businesses more easily.

    The governor, pardon the phrase, is a \”ho\” for the Oklahoma Trial lawyers. He has loaded up the Supreme Court with closet liberals, making it the most outrageous high court in the southwest. I expect business to run, not walk, out of Oklahoma.

    Did this doctor go to medical school so that he could have a comfortable life, a big boat, and be able to avoid compensating his patients whom he negligently injured? If you or a family member became quadriplegic because of a doctor\’s negligence, would you think you were receiving justice if your compensation were limited to $300,000? Is this what you consider to be tort \”reform\”? Making sure that the most seriously injured people are not adequately compensated so that the doctor can enjoy his big boat? No payment is made unless the doctor has been proven to have negligently caused the injury. The governor was right in vetoing this law that would encourage negligent care. Personally, I would prefer my doctor to perform competently so that both he and I will be happy at the conclusion of his care of me.

    Does a man who can afford to spend 72,000 a year on one coverage expect sympathy?

    I\’m aching to change the laws so he can get a nicer yacht.

    And the politicians involved- you guys have already pointed out that they are working for their own interest.

    I don\’t notice a lot of concern by either side for constituents and patients.

    Just about the attitudes I\’ve come to expect from doctors and politicians.
