Political Quotes

“It was just this week that the American Medical Association added another State--Massachusetts--to its growing list of States that can be classified as being in medical crisis because of out-of-control medical litigation system. For several months, as we brought a series of bills to the floor to try to bring this issue to debate and to focus the attention of this body on it, we have been using the number of 19 States. Now it is 20 States in this great country of ours that are in medical crisis because of this single issue. According to the AMA, access to quality health care is increasingly endangered. What this means is decreased access to doctors. If you need a doctor, if you are in an automobile accident or if you are a mom or future mom and you need an obstetrician, access to care is increasingly endangered due to a broken medical litigation system. It is a problem in all States and in at least 20 it is a crisis.”
