    Once again the Trial Lawyers Association lobbyists have paid the politicians to protect their interests. Why else would every seemingly favorable malpractice reform carry a “condition”? In this case the cap applies only if the plaintiff agrees to arbitration.

    Since only plaintiff attorneys benefit from malpractice insurance, they should share in funding the premiums. Sort of a “pay to play” format that the state of NJ has used so effectively for years. I we put a 10% surcharge on the attorneys piece of every settlement,doctors wouldn’t bear the burden of paying for malpractice and everyone would be fat, dumb, and happy. If the attorneys don’t go for that, I’d like to see doctors boycott attorneys and refuse to treat or operate on them. Maybe then they’d think twice about attacking the very people they depend on to save their pathetic lives.

    The actions of fans, stars, and critics, taken collectively, create a culture of idol, myth, and make-believe. ,
