Yep, and notice I didn't name the country.

Already my new programmers as inviting me to come down to show me around.

"Anyone ever think to ask what you have gained because of lawsuits?"
Yes, this is what I have gained: Health care is unaffordable, and my son is uninsurable.
"nice to have options"
I would give almost anything if I could choose between (1) affordable health care with no option to sue and (2) the present system, i.e. unaffordable health care with the option to sue.

Obviously, the trial lawyers lobby will never permit such a choice, for obvious reasons.

I deeply resent being forced to pay an army of wealthy lawyers to police the system.

Obviously, if their motives were not mercenary, they would choose other systems to police--maybe drug trafficing, for example--but the health care system is where the money is.

There is no point in hoping for relief from all this. The cards are stacked in favor of lawyers. They control politics. And they are well trained in the arts of persuasion--that's what they do. All this litigation will end only when it becomes no longer lucrative--so that will probably be never. That's why people whine. They can't do anything about it.
