Somebody forgot about Ron Paul. If we would elect him we might not be screwed, or at least less so. The media seems to not want him elected though so they are steering the sheep in a different direction to keep the Government moving in the same direction. I doubt Paul will be elected there are too many rich and powerful people making sure that wont happen for their personal benefit.

Rick, believe or not, I agree with you. However, when you allow regular working folks to be denied access to the justice system, you are actually giving up freedom.
Who said anything about denying it to them? Just fix it so that is a justice system instead of the legal system we have now. As things stand now the only real winners are big business and the lawyers. For the most part everyone else gets screwed.
We would be just as screwed. Not only is Paul just another politician, unless he got a lot of Libertarians in congress, he would be pretty much a lame duck from the start.
Prove this with facts please.
Insurance companies don't give a crap about anything except collecting your premiums and denying your benefits.
Attorneys aren't any better. Unless it's a motherlode case they will sit on it 'til they can't sit on it anymore and then try to convince their client to drop the case because they "won't be able to convince a jury they are really hurt".
Spare me the "oh we're here to help YOU" nonsense, please.
Government (Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Tea Party, etc.), Big Business, Lawyers, JBTs (okay, these guys should probably be under "government" to because they are the revenue generators), Doctors, Indian Chiefs ... they are all the same ... it's all about the benjamins ...
Actually, this is just false.
BB, then why hire one in the first place? Your assertion is just wrong. The fact is that it is more often the clients who believe they have a "motherlode case" and have completely unrealistic expectations. Add that to the fact that most folks have drunk the insurance company koolaid about how everyone is a malingerer and giving awards raise everyone's rates, and it's just plain an uphill battle.
And as for the "we're here to help you nonsense", what other profession do you basically get someone to work for free with only the potentiality of being paid? Of course, we are here to turn a profit. What's wrong with that? It's our JOB. It's how we make a living. Do you begrudge the doctor his fee or paying an auto mechanic to repair your car?
