Anyone who supports the IRS, no tort reform, etc... really is amusing to watch.
Amusing......no
Scary.......YES
Unless you work for the government, anyone who supports the IRS is nuts.
And only a trial lawyer would oppose tort reform.
Since you're intent to drag that discussion over here, let me repeat that statement for everyone else to enjoy:
I love tort caps. Its like a special tax imposed on victims, with the benefits passed on to the tortfeasors. After all, life is so rough for them - I hear that some of them have had to buy their teenaged kids 2 year old used H2s and Benzes because malpractice premiums have risen so high, especially those with a claim history. Lord knows those evil victims are just greedy.
The real bottom line is that the doc lobby has managed to socialize the payment end of medical care, and have no constraints on what they charge - all while limiting out competition through their draconian setup to get into the club.
BTW, tort caps don't make premiums go down, nor do they give insurers any motivation to settle faster - in fact, the effect is the opposite, and forces more cases into court (with more attendant expense in defense firm fees).
After all, if your exposure is capped, why not roll the dice and chance getting lucky?
