I have posted many times on this subject that I would propose taking current hospital/provider medmal insurance rates forward as is, no cuts, and employing them to fund a system which would double compensation rates or numbers for injured parties regardless of fault. European model.

Your objection to that is what?

If it meant getting collective price negotiations to prevent gouging we can do pretty much whatever the hell you want with medmal

You made a "horseshite" claim earlier. When challenged, you issued the above nonresponse.

Certainly your dodge must have been unintentional.

So, while you're reconsidering,
let's sweeten the pot with a few more details.
Time to settlement in the truly reformed EU-style system I referenced would be far faster. Settlements for injured parties could come in as little as 1/25th (or less) of the time required in our currently broken system.

Need more?
In cases involving true negligence, and which the client chose to pursue adversarially, there would be no caps on settlement, no limits of award. None!

Now why if your earlier claim about "horseshite" was true, would I ever back, propose, push any of this?

Legitimacy of argument comes down to motivation.
What's my motivation here?
What is your Tort Lawyer pals' motivation?
