If Obama wants to fix medical insurance, he should cap frivolous lawsuits. Of course he would never do that. He and his wife are lawyers. Doctors, druggists, hospitals and all have to pay big bucks for liability insurance. We who have insurance pay more because of it and we also pay for those who aren’t fortunate enough to have insurance.

When Edwards got the law passed that you can sue your HMOs, our insurance skyrocketed. We already pay for those on welfare and kids in foster homes — some, by the way, who could be raised by family at no expense to taxpayers. But the parents, even though they’re incarcerated, have the power over who takes care of the kids. I know this for a fact. We pay for lots of expenses that aren’t necessary because of stupid laws that should be changed.

Speaking of lawyers, have you seen how many commercials they have on TV? The medicine, doctor, hospital, cigarette, asbestos, auto accident, police, highway patrol, sheriff officers, employers, Fresno County by the A.C.L.U. Who by the way kept most of the money? Can’t believe what I see.

First of all, when it come to auto insurance, the policy has a cap on what the insurance pays, and if you have insurance you have a lawyer of the insurance company at your request to sue the person’s insurance company, probably at no expense. But the lawyers in the ads say the insurance companies hate them. Look at your policy see the cap? When someone gets sued their assets come into the picture if the person doesn’t have money or property. Chances are the lawyer tells you to take what you can get from the insurance company or perhaps take it to small claims court. Because they only get a third or more of the payment and if the person getting sued has no assets it wouldn’t be worth it to them!

Talk to your insurance company and check it out.

Speaking of lawyers and laws, when it comes to moving a case from where it happens to another area because of knowledge of the case, the TV news media should not get any information that would compromise the justice of the hearing. This is ridiculous and we taxpayers pay for it.
