Political Factoid
Republicans accuse Democrats
of opposing medical liability reform
(e.g., putting a limit on jury awards
in medical malpractice cases)
because of influence from the
trial lawyer lobby.
Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX),
Chm. of the House Judiciary Committee,
insists medical liability reform
could save billions of dollars.*

This can be substantiated by the cost savings
that have been achieved by corporations
who have successfully forced their customers
to forgo their 7th Amendment rights
and submit to binding mediation instead.
