Medical Malpractice
Blaming the victims is not the solution to reducing cost of health care. It appears that the insurance companies are gouging both sides and are playing the doctors against the trial lawyers hoping to make an extra buck... all to the victims' expense.
"If medical malpractice legislation is adopted by Congress, the winners will be the property and casualty insurance industry, which saw a doubling of profits in 2003. The losers will be innocent victims with devastating injuries due to medical negligence.
Those who propose limiting compensation to patients and their families are primarily the insurance industry, which has continued to raise medical malpractice insurance premiums even in states that have adopted caps on damages. Other beneficiaries of these proposals are the HMOs, prescription drug companies, nursing homes and manufacturers of medical devices, all of whom would be protected under the various proposals in Congress."
