How well do those programs work?

you want to make healthcare better and more affordable stop all the frivolous law suits that helped make scum like John Edwards a millionaire many times over.



Granted that there are many frivolous lawsuits, what about the ones that aren't frivolous? There are patients out there with legitimate grounds for lawsuits.

If a doctor screws up while treating a patient and the consequences are serious, especially financially, isn't the patient entitled to recompense to help pay for whatever is needed to undo whatever damage is caused by the doctor's screw-up?

Many people I talk to seem to think that the only malpractice suits that are out there are frivolous, and none of them consider the fact that maybe some of them actually have a case.
