We need a new system, one that doesn't involve lawyers feeding off 40% of the take, and funneling money to elect Democrat politicians. Americans are obviously now hooked on the idea of getting money whenever something bad happens. Maybe no fault insurance of some sort is the answer. Put the lotto ticket as a line item on the hospital bill, and cut out the lawyers. Medical care will then be more affordable and lawyers can find a new line of work that creates value rather than profits off others misfortunes.
Read my earlier thread about North Carolina fund (Basically no fault) for all CP babies to tkae care of them for life. Takes care of al, eliminates lottery system of winners. lobbied hard and defeated by trial lawyers (they got no cut). thanks John Edwards.
