The health care rationing bill unveiled by Pelosi is over 1,900 pages and buried in such a monstrosity are niches for favored special groups. For example, a bone was thrown to the trial lawyers (page 1431-1433 of the bill):
Section 2531, entitled “Medical Liability Alternatives,” establishes an incentive program for states to adopt and implement alternatives to medical liability litigation. [But]…… a state is not eligible for the incentive payments if that state puts a law on the books that limits attorneys’ fees or imposes caps on damages.
Thus, you can not try to seek alternatives to lawsuits if you’ve actually done something to implement alternatives to lawsuits. The trial lawyers stand to rake in a great deal of money from this provision.
