re: US District Court in NOLA has stayed a bunch of civil cases where fraud has been alleged.

My god...many on here have taken the insurance company drivel hook line and sinker. Insurance companies aren't reducing your rates...and they aren't looking out for your best interest. They want your money, and want to pay as little as they can. All of these supposed ideas...you know...to get those greedy lawyers...result in less for real victims and more fore the insurance company. Like med mal caps...500k since 1974. You think 500k compensates an infant rendered quadriplegic by a doctor on his cell phone? No...Vitter wanted it reduced to 250k....because those poor doctors have high insurance rates (while making 800k a year.) Seriously...when these proposals come out..and they point at the legal system...ask yourself "who profits?" It isn't you...its the insurance company. Every single time. Then ask...who is pushing the reform and who is backing them? You guessed it...insurance companies.
