I'm not a fan of tort reform

I am not a fan of 10 commericals a day telling me if I ever took a Tylenol or used a bandaid or had a booboo to call the law offices of schmuck, fuck, and lotsa luck because I may be entitled to a settlement. 10 a day I see now every week class actions so a bunch of lawyers can get rich and drive up costs for everyone else

God forbid the wrongdoer pay. Wait until you get fucked up.

those guys are leeches, I understand that. I also understand that malpractice insurance is very high

but I can't support limiting restitution to someone who has been harmed or even killed by negligence or incompetence.

same for government, police, - any entity or person really.

"My wife's dumbass, entitled family (including her grandmother) all agreed on her grandmother having open heart surgery at the fucking age of 87. Goddamn. That's fucking selfish, wasteful and stupid. Now, she is a 94 year old who can't piss without someone helping, wipe her own ass or even remember what fucking flavor jello they gave her two hours ago in that overpriced but nicely decorated hellhole in which she resides over in Pinehurst. That woman could have died with dignity at 87. Now, she is barely one step above being a zombie. She has no quality of life."

LMFAO at that "but nicely decorated" detail in the midst of that rant...

this is our leech on TV in Cincinnati

he creeps me out with that hair

Dear god!

I'd almost bet dollars to donuts, Rats interacted with him in some way

overkill with most of these class action suits and civil suits I've seen---Ive testified, been deposed and been a part of about 10 as a juror, witness, defendant once , peer to someone else 4-5 times

9 were settled because the organization said it was cheaper that way even though 80% were total bullshit only 2 cases did I think their was merit

I can see why non govt providers have to overkill every little test to protect themselves which leads to more indiscriminate testing which leads to more findings that are vague and warrant another batch of procedures or specialists. meanwhile your not covered and you get the bill driving grandpa and grandma into their savings lucky if they can pay for something they have no idea what but because Dr. God told them to do it they do.
between insurance/administrators/providers/lawyers its a racket
no one has any common sense anymore

king of the 1/4 forehead look

LOL

I think he has the market cornered on that look

Nice he put the second wife in the shot.

They're some of the most defense-minded--if not the most defense-minded--in the nation. Yet, costs still skyrocket here. Liability carriers have pooled their money together and have wisely marketed their positions, and fools have bought that shit hook, line and sinker.

Raise Medicare age to 72
Medical malpractice reform
Different levels of care - poor, medium, rich and priced accordingly.

I will hand it to Rubio. He was the only candidate to have the guts to mention raising the retirement age for SS and medicare.

Then why do you think those countries with single payer put limits on Med Mal? You're just spewing ATLA propaganda.

That dude needs to open a malpractice suit against his barber...

reading about casinos in Atlantic City

wow- talk about a steal

Revel opened April 2, 2012, but struggled from the outset; it never turned a profit, went bankrupt twice, and shut down on Sept. 2, 2014. Straub bought the casino, which cost $2.4 billion to build, out of bankruptcy court last April for $82 million.

Atlantic City is such a dump. I'd hop a flight to Vegas before I ever contemplated visiting that shithole of a place.

I wonder what started its downturn?

Right after the Commodore's grandson shot Nucky.

Maybe some enterprising lawyer will start a class action suit for people who have gone cross-eyed from watching too much TV...
