Healthcare Under Attack

Excerpt:

"Personal injury lawyers' attacks on our health care system have
serious negative consequences on the quality and affordability of
the care we receive.

It has contributed to a shortage of certain specialty doctors—
especially in obstetricians and general surgeons—in many areas of
the country and helped spur a rise in health care costs that
jeopardizes access to life-saving care and innovations, even for the
middle class.

Though personal injury lawyers would lead you to believe that their
lawsuits against health care providers, hospitals and health care
companies are in the best interest of the consumer because they
target "bad actors," the truth of the matter is that, for them, it's
about their pursuit of personal wealth."

In the wake of this greed, the rest of the country is left with the
consequences:

Doctors are afraid to practice medicine.

Health care costs rise as litigation costs are passed on to patients.

Access to health care is limited.

Medical innovation is threatened and patient health is jeopardized.
