The DJP Update

Note this tweet from the group formerly known as ATLA (Association of Trial Lawyers of America) and now calling themselves The American Association for Justice.  They continue to fight as a unit to keep the status quo.

Contingency fees, no penalty for filing suits without merit, no peer-review, etc.  And they keep with the same funny math in the debates.  See what you will hear in the next debate by reading their JusticeDotOrg citation in the Daily Kos.  Meanwhile the doctors fight among themselves on many issues.  The plaintiff attorneys only have one real issue.  And they get involved in elections! Res ipsa loquitur!

Do your homework!  Be ready.  Imagine if they were price-fixed!  Imagine if an operation to save their lives cost them 1/3 to 1/2 of future income!  Of course doctors would never do such an unethical act.  But why have legal ethics and then medical ethics?  Why not just ETHICS.  How long must we tolerate these abuses!!  And now a word from the folks who sue doctors.
