N.Y. Doctors Could See $50,000 Fee

Submitted by chuck higgins, Dec 26, 2007 09:59

Time for TORT reform- reign in the parasites . Let's work together to decide that all people need or will need Doctors. Lawyers are not necessary except to find a wrong to fix for 40% of the fee. If we want doctors practicing in this state, providing affordable care and any hope of being insured here, there is no other option but to stop the nonsense and find a more reasonable way to reasonably compensate those with true damages. The democrats have to be brought to heel if we want doctors left to heal.
