You are confusing cost of premiums for mal-pratcice insurance with the actual costs in the increase in the cost of health insurance for the conumer...

But nice try...

It is estimated that only 2% of the increase in health insurance and health care costs are attributed to law suits... In the year 2000 I paid $360 a month for the same basic Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan that now is hovering at right under $900 a month... And both me and the P-Vine are healthy, non smokers, etc... You do the math, Old Guy...

According to the Wes Ginny Slide Rule of the $540 increase in costs of health insurance, about $15 bucks went toward law suits and the remaining $525 went to higher costs of health care... Like I siad, another Old Guy partisan red herring...

Why won't you died in the wool Repubs answer me why health care has gone up over 100% under Bush witrh out having to beat down lawyers who account for less than 2% of the increase... Yeah, where the other 98% going??? Answer me that one... Yeah, there a re alot of other small businessmen who would love to hear your answer, too...
