Lawyers Increase Medical Costs

Since President Obama was inaugurated, there has been a proliferation of television commercials by law firms. Trial lawyers were major contributors to his campaign, and after January 20 they immediately started to troll for perceived victims of the medical industry or product manufacturers. As an example, there are constant daily TV appeals to contact an attorney if suffering from Mesothelioma because of exposure to asbestos decades earlier.
President Obama says he wants health-care reform legislation to reduce medical costs. He was booed by doctors in a speech to the American Medical Association on June 15 in Chicago, when saying he would not support caps on medical malpractice. Tort reform limiting outrageous jury awards is a legislative priority for the AMA.
There are many categories listed on the internet as reasons for suing doctors, hospitals, or manufacturers, encouraging people to fill out a form if they have been injured by faulty medications, malfunctioning medical devices, or medical negligence. Doctors perform many unnecessary tests as protection against frivolous lawsuits, greatly increasing health care costs.

It has been said, “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to sue and he will eat for a lifetime.”
