A comment on Uninsured Trauma Patients Almost Twice as Likely to Die – We Need a System that Works

Mike Bryant — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:22:28 GMT

This information just screams for a remedy. It is time that a majority of the people demand that the health care debate be done thoughtfully and be completed. The times for political games should be at an end. These kind of examples shouldn't happen in this county.

A comment on Myth #4: Malpractice Claims Drive up Doctors’ Premiums.

In what type of insurance do the number of claims not influence the premium? - none. Report a fender bender to Allstate monthly and see what happens to your rates.

Professional liability companies cant just raise rates without a lengthy application process to the regulators in the State Ins Dept. A very difficult uphill argument. Rates have actually gone down across the board in Fla, mostly due to competition and the result of some mixed tort reform.

Med mal is a problem in its frequency and how it is handled. There is a better way to get more money to the injured timely. With luck, OI am about to wrap up 2 cases that involve 2003 treatment. These were not in my control. one involves a failure to do a digital rectal exam on a patient w/o a prostate !! The other, we finally got around to deposing the plaintiffs' expert, and he had no criticism of my insured. This is $127k in expenses later. Still cant get a discontinuance. REgards jim

A comment on Myth #2: Malpractice claims drive up health care costs.

Jim O'Hare med mal claims guy — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:36:10 GMT

Healthcare and med mal are independant problems, they are casually related, and both need independant focused repair. HC is the problem with HC. The 30% superfluous overhead in a $2.5 trillion industry equates to $750 billion wasted dollars compared to a single payer system like the VET or Medicare. Let me also mention that Aetna or US Health do not provide HC they just broker it. They are not the caregivers.

Med mal needs a different, less costly, more money to the plaintiff system that the courts can not provide. Maybe combine binding arbitration with loser pays system. It would certainly stimulate settlement.

After receiving the Gardisil shot, I have had severe pain in my left arm (at the injection site) and it has been two months since I got it. Don't get this vaccine.

I am 23 years old and my doctor talked me into Gardisal telling me it was a VERY IMPORTANT vaccination. I received the first of three gardisal shots in August and i am due for the 2nd. I Regreted it after I received the shot because i hadnt done research on it. i found this website and changed my mind about the vaccination. i do not want to get the two remaining shots that are required but i read that if you dont get all three that you can have bad side effects! someone please tell me if know anything about this. i am very scared!! thank you

A comment on “Jobs, Not Lawsuits”: A False Dichotomy

It was the summit for: personal responsibility for everyone else and profits for them. It followed the : capitalism is what we stand for, except for the hand outs we took from the government conference of last month. It's important that writers like you keep pointing out the hypocrisy.

Thanks for reading & commenting, Mike. Discussions of malpractice reform focus so often on money that it's easy to overlook what's really at stake: life and quality of life. The issue of patient safety needs to move back to center stage here.

Yes, this is why every consumer has to be involved in this issue. They have to demand the protection of their rights and their safety. You hit this issue exactly right.

A comment on Chinese Drywall - Senate Looks to Regulate for Formaldehyde

Facebook User — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 16:14:11 GMT

here is a link everyone needs to read. we have lost 2 babies in the last 6 months and we believe that it is b/c of the high amounts of formaldahyde that was in the drywall. it can cause asphixiation of pets and apparently of babies. i have the autopsy report of 1 of my babie and it says there were high levels of formaldahyde in the drywall. now people, this is on a military base of all places. fort bragg, nc. is where my babie died. im heart broken, but if we can fix this problem to where no one else gets hurt or dies, my babies will not have died in vain
