Medical Malpractice Attorneys and Lawyers

Are lawyers responsible for inflation, decline in affordable medical care, need for insurance and all other?

similar problems over the last fifty years? Is it the greed of people that drives big law firms to continually use tort as the standard method of solving disagreements?

1. No insurance companies are. Watch the movie Sicko that will explain a lot.
2. Solely responsible, no...but they sure play a vital role. "The greed of people" is more responsible and lawyers just legitimize that greed.
3. Insurance companies are responsible the rise in health care costs. Why? because back in the late 70's I think it was the insurance companies used to be not for profit organizations(as they had been since their start). All of a sudden they wanted to make money so they enlisted themselves on to the stock market and have been for profit companies since then. It used to be employers paid the full amount for insurance for their employees. When the insurance companies became for profit companies employers could no longer foot the bill themselvesbecause of the rising costs and so employees had to start paying a share. When my mother gave birth to my sister in 1965 it cost my dad .15 cents for all charges. The .15 cents was the phone call to the doctor
