Medical Malpractice Attorneys and Lawyers

Medical Malpractice... Tort Reform anyone? I am applying to medical school and would love to learn more about people's opinions regarding the outrageous medical malpractice suits.

Are there any Democrats who believe that medical tort reform will help lower medical costs in the US? The best physicians are here in the United States. This is where they can get a decent pay check because we don't have socialistic national healthcare! (Only problem here is that they have to pay sky-high malpractice insurance premiums.) We really need to make tort reform a political issue in 2008. It is the only way to get healthcare costs down. The majority of doctors don't like to charge ridiculous fees. Reforms do not have to forbid lawsuits in legitimate cases of malpractice. But good reform measures would prevent $65 million lawsuits when a much, much lower amount would suffice.

The increasing size of medical malpractice awards has caused malpractice insurance costs to skyrocket, driving some physicians with high risk coverage, such as OB-GYNs and anesthesiology to move to states that have passed tort reform laws. In 2003, Ohio passed a similar law to prevent the flight of OB-GYNs to other states. Do you think it is fair to the injured party to have a state law limit the amount that can be recovered in a medical malpractice suit?

Can I have an ed op piece on Tort Reform for 1L class today.......? Preferably on Medical Malpractice or Cigarette
