The trial lawyers are responsible for this mess, but Rendell doesn't have the spine to push tort reform.
The trial lawyers, and I regret to say, the idiotic juries (particualry in Philadelphia) who award astronomical settlements to planitifs in medical cases.

You forgot about the greedy people who see an injury of any type as their meal ticket.
The trial lawyers, and I regret to say, the idiotic juries (particualry in Philadelphia) who award astronomical settlements to planitifs in medical cases. It seems that two states where a crisis has developed (West Virginia and Mississippi) are known for having idiotic juries. What those states need to realize is that Atlas, M.D. will shrug and move to another state if they keep kicking him in the shins.
