Trial Lawyers made out like bandits in Senate Health Care Bill
It’s enough to make you sick.
The mad dash to cram a government takeover of America’s health-care system – one-sixth of the US economy -- has left lots of taxpayers sick. Congress has outdone itself in the category of outrageous legislative payoffs, even by congressional standards.
Some states got exempted from paying for some of the expansions, while those of us in other states will be left holding the bag – along with their costs.
But few groups make out better under the congressional leadership’s health-care plans than personal-injury trial lawyers.
In reading the health-care bill approved by the House of Representatives and Harry Reid’s bill pending in the Senate, Nixon found (so far) 26 new opportunities for plaintiff lawyers to sue doctors for malpractice.

Read my lips: No new hips
Here at the RightOnLine blogger conference at the Sheraton in Pittsburg in a healthcare session. Speaker Eric Singer, discussing the rationing which is taking place in Canada and other countries, anticipates President Obama's next radio address proclaiming "Read my lips - if you are over 57, no new hips." That's right. Precisely what is happening in countries which have government-run healthcare.
Mind you, the Administration doesn't want to be bogged down in the details. That's simple since the Senate version isn't even available -- though the committee voted for it weeks ago. After all, the U.S. Senate isn't accountable to you and me, the mere taxpayers and voters.
And since Obama won't sign a plan which will increase the deficit, should we worry? That provides a huge laugh line for the HandsOffMyHealthCare bus tour. Who knew Obama would provide such rich fodder for icebreakers?
Why can't we test the government plan? Perhaps on Congressmen and their staff, and why not include federal workers? These folks should e delighted to test drive the government plan and get back to us on it.
