It would be very interesting to know what the Obama Administrations target unemployment number is; could it be 15%, 20%, 25% or even higher. High unemployment is not the consequence of policy but the desired RESULT! (2 hrs ago | post #41)

Parents of Dead College Student Get Hospital Bill

Great comment Cool Peppa, that right there represents both sides of one of many issues with the COST of healthcare. Form the hospital and doctors side you may have not needed the potassium, however if they did not give it to you they would have taken a huge risk of a lawsuit if something, related or not to your potassium level, had happened. From the Insurances companies side they will more than likely pay because they have no ideal of your medical records. We will never solve the COST of healthcare issue until everyone except for the patient and the provider are the only ones involved in the transfer of payment. (2 hrs ago | post #14)

Parents of Dead College Student Get Hospital Bill

Are you saying that the insurance company knows more about what you received in the hospital than you and your family would know. IMO, the patient should receive the bill first to make sure it is correct to the best of their knowledge, then sent to the insurance company. (2 hrs ago | post #13)

Except for me, I am not 100% sure about any of the other posters, however based on their post and having read their post for over a year now, I do not suspect them to be collecting food stamps. (2 hrs ago | post #37)

I would agree that that is its most fundamental purpose of a lawsuit and when not abused is a fair way to accomplish this. However, In the age of class action lawsuits and Oprah juries making a person whole is not longer the objective, making the Lawyer and the victim rich is the goalWe need some form of loser pays.

This one is easy, have better juries that will not handle over money because they feel bad about the victim. If you watch Oprah you are banned from serving on a juryAgain another easy one, implement a loser pays system for lawsuits. Remember it cost just as much if not more to defend a frivolous as it does a legit one. If there might be some financial ramifications to both the Law firm and the client for losing a case then there may be some second thoughts about filing a case just to settle out of court for what amounts to blackmail.

Only 15 percent of the population in Duval is on Food Stamps, I guess the Federal Government has a lot of work left to do to increase that number. It is very difficult to control what people are “ALLOWED” to eat if you are not buying it for them. (6 hrs ago | post #13)

Fortunately, for everyone on both sides we finally have written legislation that we can read instead of having POS politicians telling us what it may or may not have. Time to turn up the heat of hell on the Senate, Senators tend to be more power hungry than those in the house, and this may be an advantage this time around. Also Harry Reid is in trouble in his own state and is much weaker that Mrs. Pelosi (6 hrs ago | post #41)

Did not go and will not go, simply because right now with the specials I can go to Universal for the same amount of money for a day or go to wild adventures. More fun, better rides, cheaper parking, fewer drunks, much, much nicer rides. (7 hrs ago | post #13)
