Demise of the Dollar

[analogdog]

Most importantly... all capitation on awards and attorney's fees in medical malpractice cases has been REMOVED by this bill. Not one drop of Tort reform... in fact a total retreat in the other direction. As a physician I'm stuck in the middle.... a health program that does not allow me to test or fully treat patients, and when the outcome is poor... I'm left out in the wind to lawsuits.... I hope i can even stay in practice when my malpractice sky rockets, because it most definitely will.

The attorney's get their redistribution of wealth.... good luck finding a doctor because many will not afford to be able to practice. Plus, this bill explicitly overrides the states limitations and caps on lawsuits should they have them in place as they do in my state.... yup, seems real Constitutional.
