Because it's a litigious society and everybody wants to sue the hell out of everybody else for every freaking little scratch they get. Makes for bad premium increases and richer lawyers. End of story.
That is a very good point.
Mal Pracitce is a big cost to a doctor as it pertains to his/her overall practice proifit...usually about 20%.
My father in law was a pdiatrician and his profit was 500K and his mal pracitve insurance cost him 125K a year
But, when you pass that 125K over the amount of patients......he had hundreds....it is less than $750 per patient...
But there is no doubt that somethig is askew that Obama, Reiud and Pelosi did not include tort reform in the bill turned law...and it botherted me that my two senators refused to explain to me why...From Gillibrand I got a nice little...."we will look into it and get back to you"...and from Schumer I got a note saying "there were many intitiaves that we could not put in the bill. We were limited by the opposition"
Really chuck? You wanted tort repofrm and the GOP didnt?
Do they even fucking read our emails?
You're dealing with liberals. This is in the lib playbook. Nothing beats a good crisis.
If there is an issue which a lib can "say" he or she will try to solve it. Unless of course it is politically advantageous for the crisis to continue.
The excuse Schumer used is a fucking lie.
The Dems had full control of the House and Senate. The bully pulpit. In keeping with the lib playbook, they looked to the GOP for political cover. The dems said they could not get the GOP to go along with their agenda. The reason is they needed the GOP to sign on so if things went wrong, the dems could use the GOP as a scapegoat.
