Even though it is widely acknowledged that lawsuits are a major factor in the escalation of health care costs over the last few decades, no attempt to rein-in lawsuit abuse is included in the 1000+ page health care reform bill. Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean explains why.
“First, the bill is already long enough,” Dean argued. “Adding even one more page would make it unreadable.”
“Second, lawyers are America’s heroes,” Dean contended. “You can’t turn on TV without seeing a lawyer fighting crime, ensuring justice, or rescuing the weak. Voters wouldn’t stand for a bill scapegoating this noble profession.”
“And, let’s face it, lawyers have got America by the short hairs,” Dean confessed. “The mere threat of litigation can destroy a person’s finances and peace-of-mind. Can we really afford to piss these guys off by trying to restrict their income? They have so many legislators in their pocket that any such effort could well backfire and make us worse off than if we did nothing.”

This is the point where I threw up!!!!!!
This guys good.
Once again, I had to get to the third paragraph before I ‘got it’.
Ha. Dean finally admitting that lawyers and politicians are in the same whorey bed together. Since most pols are attorneys, I’d call that incest.
You rascal.
You’re a wolf among lambs, apparently. We have to make you wear a scarlet “< S >” or something. :-)
Nine sentences without a Dean Screamed? I'm not buying it. :-)
How would HE know?? - He didn’t write it. obama’s radical SPECIAL INTEREST groups did.
Helping you out John.
We care about trial lawyers.We don’t care about you except
at election time and when we fully take over; we won’t give
a shinola about you!

When I watched this live I thought you were writing for Howard Dean. It was just so darn sad.
“Second, lawyers are America’s heroes,” Dean contended. “You can’t turn on TV without seeing a lawyer fighting crime, ensuring justice, or rescuing the weak. Voters wouldn’t stand for a bill scapegoating this noble profession.”
I THINK DOCTORS ARE MORE AMERICAN HERO THAN LAWYERS/SHARKS are! A doctor can save your life.
