sorry... its just not.

easy scapegoat.

easy to point the finger at who everyone can identify is "the bad guy" because everyone has to pay for insurance, deal with insurance, gets denied coverage etc etc. much harder to convince people to blame trial attorneys when they have no obvious and clear, direct impact on peoples lives.

at the end of the day, the trial attorneys own washington and are continually fucking you up the ass while you are bent over, taking it, squealing and screaming and blaming the vaseline for not being a good enough lubricant to ease the pain.
Malpractice insurance costs on average 3.2% of a physician's annual revenue. Are you saying that completely eliminating all lawsuits (which would be silly but we'll use as an example), would somehow get those with pre-existing conditions and bad genetic histories insurance? That considering the entire 3.2% savings being passed on to the patient would magically save the entire health care industry?
