Just one of the millions of instances where gay marriage is going to put an additional economic burden on America, and hence the American family.

The good news though is that if you are a physician in Massachusetts, you can move here to Florida to avoid the higher malpractice costs that will inevitably result.

By the time the biopsy was performed nearly eight months later, Charron's lump had grown and she was diagnosed with advanced cancer that had spread to her liver and sternum. Doctors have given her 10 years to live.

Can this be right?

I'll be very surprised if this suit isn't immediately thrown out. I don't think you can get married and then sue as a spouse for a tortious act that took place BEFORE you were married.

As I said to hubby yesterday, I'm not sure the advance of civilization has been a good thing. I read articles like this and I am convinced the world would be a better place if most people were still out tilling the ground for their sustanence.

Could a heterosexual couple file the same type of suit? Would a husband file a suit because it wasn't detected in his new bride? I think that they wouldn't be able to, and it would also be a new low in shallowness of a relationship. Oops...but that's expecting morals to come into play. Homos don't have that.

Loss of consortium: Deprivation in some degree of the companionship, affection, sexual relations, or cooperation of a spouse due to an accident or injury.

Yes sir, you can still sue for not being able to get any from your significant other.

How this will work with homosexual "marriage" is frightening to contemplate, but I bet the courts will find a solution lickety-split.

Did anyone on this planet besides brain dead liberal politicians think homo marriage was anything but a money grab to circumvent marriage requirements for insurance claims?

Health care will remain unaffordable until lawyers, malpractice litigation, and unlimited plaintiff's awards are eliminated from the system.

The bill for these awards, including the lawyers' take, is paid by all patients.

In an ideal world, it would be nice to compensate everyone for every misfortune. In the real world, we cannot afford to.

Furthermore, the threat of litigation has not altered the incidence of iatrogenic injury.

The cost of medical care will remain beyond the reach of everyone until this problem is resolved.

Hahahahah. The people of Mass. let their judicial system do this and now they will have to pay the price of competent people in medicine fleeing that state. The rest of America had better wake up fast. Having "compassion" for the gays "equal" rights is like having compassion for terrorists.

This is the great unreported fact of homosexual marraige. How much extra is this going to cost the average american?

How does the average employer deal with a whole demographic of new people added to the health care rolls, many of which are high risk for disease and physical violence?

It is politically incorrect to report on the higher incidences of disease and violence among homosexuals - people are called a racist if they do it. So people will just wonder what happens to their health care premiums.

The Democrats don't care. This just brings them closer to their dream of forced mass health care from the government.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

By now, you all know that lesbian consort consists of practices A, B, C, D, E and F.

Because of her surgery, petitioner can no longer engage in practices B and C within the sacred shrine of lesbian matrimony. She claims the loss consort is worth one million dollars.

However, petitioner can STILL engage in practices A, D, E and especially practice F. So, at most, the petitioner is entitled do minimal damages.

We ask you to award the petitioner 69 cents.

Your Honor, we rest.

You really want more yankee liberals in Florida? They bring their culture with them and try to politically impose it on the rest of us, even if it is that culture that they are running away from.

And just wait until the fags with AIDS start "marrying" "partners" with medical insurance. If you think your medical insurance premiums are high now, just wait a few months!

The longer I live, the more I've come to see that the game of living is all about the redistribution of wealth: people planning, jockeying, maneuvering to position themselves so they can take money legally or illegally from the system and people within that system.

The trial lawyers are happy, very happy.

This case opens up all kind of possibilities. Just like redefining the definition of marriage, this case could redefine the definition of conjugal visit. Or loss of consortium. And, if they have multiple sex partners, and get divorced, it could re-define the definition of adultery.

As Fritz Hollings would say, "there's a lot of redefining goin' on out there."
