Tort Reform Hoax
A new study on tort reform by a business-backed institute "proves tort reform does not work," according to the association for the nation's justice lawyers. The Insurance Journal contains the report.
The Las Vegas Review Journal reports on the Endocscopy Clinic debacle almost everyday since it went public. Today LVRJ reports that insurance companies are no longer covering gastroentologists which is soon to result in a medical "crisis." Sound familiar? Does the "medical crisis" the insurance company financed in the media in 2003 being due to "frivolous lawsuits" and "outrageous jury verdicts" sound familiar?

Stay tuned to the Endocsopy crisis. Eventually lawyers who are responding to the public damage unaccountable physicans wreaked on their patients will be blamed for an eventual "crisis" of physician availability. But who today would deny the fact that thousands of people are suffering and possibly dying due to physician negligence? The cause of the crisis will be insurance companies guarding the profits of their CEOs by distancing themselves from known risks and losses. They will charge exhorbitant insurance malpractice rates to good physicians due to the egregious acts of the few physicians that are guilty as sin.
Lets wait and see if I am right.
