Bush Pushes for Tort Reform in Visit to 'Judicial Hellhole'

The sad part its to stop exsposure of goverment policies that may be effective.

Its law suits that bring dangers to light. The problem is to many defective products are out there and the regulators are not doing a good job. Drug manufacturers are bad to. The FDA is not doing a good job.

Has anybody sued the FDA for letting a new drug through or not researching it?

The real winner is the insurance companies. They switch paperwork so do the docters and other problems in the system. This way they can do stuff like that and people can get operations they don't need and die and no one will be held accountable.

They probally will stick a million catches and provisions in it.

You see the agendas hook your budies up appoint a bunch of judges.

Please look at the "Collinsville trip " thread in "Health". This "hellhole" article is just one in a series related to his trip.

Snuffy, since that thread is not getting any reads, please move to another forum where it will.

If Bush really wanted to make a difference, he'd be focused on the insurance companies who keep raising malpractice rates not due to actual suits, settlements or verdicts but do so because they can and they can say it's due to the potential threat of these things. There are an awful lot of frivolous cases but the actual costs of jury verdicts and settlements has decreased while insurance rates have increased.

There are a lot of different groups with varying degrees of culpability, but the one with the most power and that makes the most money is the one not making any changes to rectify the situation - the insurance companies.

This is the same philosophy as his tax cuts that turned the biggest surplus ever into the biggest deficit ever-- when the rich got their tax cuts, they put it into their pockets instead of investing. That's what the insurance companies will do with caps on damages-- they'll reap massive profits instead of lowering premiums.
