tivodan, are you a lawyer?

I am for tort reform because jackpot juries lead to baseless lawsuits in hopes of ringing up the big $$$. You act as if it's all right to sue an entity, be it a person or a corperation just because they have $$$. That's just it, it's all about $$$ not justice or what's right or wrong.

Medical costs are huge in part, because of how much a doc must spend to carry malpractice insurance. Look at OB-GYN docs, they get sued more then any other doctor why? Because lawyers have found it's easy to sway a jury with emotion. former VP Canidate Edwards made MILLIONS sueing doctors that didn't perform C-Section births and the child came out with Cerable Palsy. Do you Tivodan know what he and other lawyers caused?

They forced hospitals to perform C-Section's at the first sign of any problem. Not only is a C-Section expensive, it's also a very rough procedre on the woman.

But tivodan, guess what? Despite a huge increase in the number of C-Section births (if memory serves it was 1 C-section per 10 births when the CP scare kicked off and the lawsuits started) is like 6 to 1. And the rate of Cerebal Palsay? HASN'T CHANGED. Yet doc's still get sued on the premis if the birth has "only been a c-section" even though it's been disproven.

Tort refrom, it's time to save ourselves from the Greed of Lawyers, and more so to save ourselves from our own greed.

Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" is still being challenged to this day, but by consensus Global Warming is a fact... that's REAL science at work, why didn't Albert just go that route?
