Reader Stan Sipple writes me that “a Louisiana attorney several years ago took you up on your proposal that plaintiffs’ attorneys should run insurance companies. Was this what the trial lawyers had in mind?”
Me, I’m sad; it’s been two weeks since I wrote that column. While ATLA issued a press release March 3 claiming and complaining that congressional legislation on caps won’t make medical malpractice insurance cheaper, they’re not taking advantage of my modest proposal how to simultaneously prove their point about tort reform, improve medical care, reduce malpractice insurance rates, and make more money. I can’t imagine why they’re passing up this opportunity if they believe what they say in their press release.
