55. There is NOT a lot of frivolous malpractice lawsuits!!!

Edited on Sat Feb-11-06 05:37 PM by PBass

(To Poppyseed man)
That's the right wing spin talking. Please educate yourself on malpractice lawsuits, and don't spread misinformation.

It costs something like 60 thousand dollars to launch a malpractice lawsuit (with no guarantee of winning). How many people will spend 60k on a bogus lawsuit, just for kicks?

Also, the number of malpractice lawsuits has gone down, while health care costs have gone up. What does that tell you?

Look here:

There is a LOT of misinformation and spin about health care, please get the facts!!!
