So, "recipitant" fraud is equal to litigation costs to the health care system? Where's the proof for that?

Since you seem to know, what portion of the litigation costs for the health care system are for legitimate malpractice claims versus "illegitimate malpractice claims"? And, "ambulance chaser" claims versus legitimate ones. (Though, I don't understand how one driver suing another drives up costs on the health care system -- unless you're just off topic venting.)

If you can separate them out so easily, it would seem easy for Congress to do the same. Assuming you'd claim that the Dems would never put an end to those claims b/c they are in the pockets of the "scum bags," why didn't the Repubs prohibit those claims? Seems like an easy sell to the American public.

Where's your proof that it's not?


You ever hear instances of a lawyer contacting people that make the headlines of being in an accident and enticing them to sue someone else? You ever hear of someone who has fallen in a store and left unhurt only to have an attorney convince them that there is gold at the end of the tunnel, and they have something coming to them? You certainly are naive. Insurance companies are often forced to settle claims out of court even when they are not liable because it's cheaper than going the litigation route. I do have vast first hand knowlege of that. If you were ever in business for yourself you would be agreeing with me whole heartedly.Granted those may be of general liability claims instances, but in the case of health insurance claims, illegitimate and fraudulent malpractice claims are a prime reason why doctors have a hard time being able to afford those premiums. Hey, someone has to pay when these overhead costs when they are incurred. Ultimately it's the insurance company's policy holder that incurs the final cost.


Because I am claiming that they are all scumbags, which ever party you want to talk about. In fact, I tend to blame republicans more for their own actions as the reason as to why liberal forces have gained control. If they had operated with the same stated conservative convictions they claim, then we wouldn't be talking about some of this stuff, would we? If you notice the vast majority of Americans are feed up with the status quo of Washington, thus the formation of Tea Party like groups. There is no bias towards any single party by the multitude.
