The Medical Malpractice Myth

If it were a football game, there would probably be a penalty called for piling on - unnecessary roughness. But Constitutional rights are at stake. So when the Association of Trial Lawyers of America this week wrote about Professor Tom Baker's expose of The Medical Malpractice Myth I felt compelled to share it with you. I don't mean to pile on, but ATLA and Professor Baker are presenting you with the facts and as I have said so many times in my communications to you, there are no facts to support the claims of those who propose to take your right to a jury trial away. That is what an arbitrary cap on damages would be - a deprivation of your right to have a jury decide a case. There are no studies that support their claims. And I truly hope that you promptly communicate with your representatives in Washington, at least those that listen to their constituents, and tell them that you don't support legislation giving health care providers a free pass. No more special privileges.
