It's so obvious but no one can do anything about it because lawyers control EVERYTHING and – it will be a cold day in hell before THEY 'allow' us to stop 'the gravy trains' they have established. And the 'engine' on these gravy trains is the absolute freedom lawyers have in America to sue anyone for anything. From the mondane to the insane, American lawsuits have become the biggest extortion racket in world history. Capone was a Boy Scout compared to these modern day vampires sucking the lifeblood from Amereican business, culture and tradition.
Here's another example that leaves no doubt about this 800 pound elephant in the room.
Rollins: Tort reform sparked ‘Texas Miracle’
Posted by Brooke L. Rollins on March 24, 2013
Ten years ago, Texas was known as a “judicial hell hole,” thanks to a torts system that was out of control — and the people who paid the price were the ordinary men, women, and children of the Lone Star State. The story of how that was fixed is a lesson for policy change today.
Nowhere was the situation in Texas in 2003 more dire than in our state’s health care sector. One out of four doctors in Texas had a malpractice claim filed against them each year. Meanwhile, the number of medical malpractice insurers in the state dropped from 17 in 2000 to four in 2003. Premiums skyrocketed, with Texas’ physicians paying about the same malpractice rates as doctors in New York. ….
Ten years later, we can see the benefits of these reforms. As the New York Times put it, “Four years after Texas voters approved a constitutional amendment limiting awards in medical malpractice law firm, doctors are responding as supporters predicted, arriving from all parts of the country to swell the ranks of specialists at Texas hospitals and bring professional health care to some long-underserved rural areas.”
In May 2005, the American Medical Association removed Texas from its lists of states in crisis. Texas is, so far, the only state to be removed from this list.
The most significant achievement has been the increased access to health care. By the end of 2013, just over ten years after the effective date of HB 4, Texas will have somewhere close to 60,000 doctors to care for its citizens, almost twice as many as it had in 2003.
It’s no coincidence that since 2003 Texas has also distinguished itself as the national leader in job growth. Texas is only one major company away from leading the way as the nation’s top home for Fortune 500 companies. …..
There is nothing bad in lawyers, just find the good one.
