Judd Gregg: “The bill as brought forth by Senator McCain, Senator Edwards, and Senator Kennedy is essentially a "let's go to court"…”

“The bill as brought forth by Senator McCain, Senator Edwards, and Senator Kennedy is essentially a "let's go to court" bill. It is not a Patients' Bill of Rights bill. I have referred to it as a "lawyers who want to be millionaires bill," and I have referred to it in other terms, but essentially it is a lawyers' rights bill. It creates an incredible number of new opportunities to bring lawsuits. We just happened to go through and outline some of these and this chart shows them. First, you can sue your employer. Under this proposal as it is structured. That should not be our goal. Our goal should not be to create lawsuits against the employers in the country.”
