Apparently, John Edwards made his millions suing doctors and hospitals.
Blame the jurors for making him wealthy.

I truly believe hospitals and insurance companies need to have the threat of a lawsuit. Too many times, at least on I am positive about, a patient died because a nurse was sent home early to save a few dollars. Their "bottom line" is money rather than patient care.

I know a nurse with a family history of breast cancer. She felt a 'tug' and asked for a mammogram. Her doctor said he couldn't order it because the health insurance we hospital workers PAID FOR would not authorize yearly mammograms for tose under fifty. She paid $80.00 for one and found Ca. After surgery, chemo, and radiation she is well and back to work.

She is suing for the $80.00 but is fighting just for the right to sue. Are these insurance comanies practicing medicine without a license? This fine woman is paying more than the $80.00 to prove a point and trying to force these smug 'bottom line' minded people to provide the care the physicians professional opinion states is needed and that the patient and/or employer ALREADY PAID FOR!

Am I the only one to feel this is wrong!

Default Ho Hum, another thread turned to Kerry vs Bush
I don't like Kerry and the more I read about him, the less I like him. The original post does just reiterates why I don't want to see Kerry in the Oval Ofiice. Sorry, but my vote is going to Bush.

Undoubtedly there were no shenanigans during GWB's distinguished Guard career.

Point taken.

However, I don't believe Bush is claiming any purple hearts.

Doesn't happen that way... majority of suits are settled.
