No doctor should have to be responsible for their actions, right?

He NEVER said we're decreasing rates. In fact, he said at least a 3 % increase was in order. Outlawing claims will reduce premiums, but it certainly will encourage and reward malpractice. Bottom line, whose side are you on? Patients injured through no fault of their own or insurance companies? Au contraire, I was there. He NEVER said we’re decreasing rates.

Outlawing claims will reduce premiums, but it certainly will encourage and reward malpractice. Bottom line, whose side are you on? Patients injured through no fault of their own or insurance companies?

Why personally attack Mr. Ward?

Is that really necessary?

Again, the testimony was a 10-14% rate reduction. Sounds like savings to me.

Well, duh, there's been a decrease in tort claims for the last fifteen years. We knew that. There is no crisis and no reason for more of an assault on individual rights. The tort deform bill is dead because Cam Crawford, et al.,have been caught lyin'. Once again, rates have gone UP every year since med mal caps passed. Not one doctor has seen any decrease in premiums and weren't decreases promised in 2005? Liar, liar, pants on fire, Get Your Facts Stright:

Just more Repugnant Party talking points and no substance. Why don't you give us ONE, just ONE, source for your "lower rates" canard. Easier still, put the insurance execs under oath like they did in Florida. Ask them if their rates will go down when this bill passes. The ansswer will be NO. And why don't you tell us about those medical malpractice rates y'all promised would go down when y'all gave doctors a pass a couple of years ago. How much did those rates go down? Oh, not a penny? They went up? Heavens, folks, et al., lied to the doctors, the public, and the legislature? What a surprise! Mr. Knapp correctly points out that small bidness is most likely to be sued by big bidness. The NFIB is a joke just like folks. Once again, folks is intellectually bankrupt.
