Re: Reading Labels: A Reality Check

Lets see, ten years ago was 1996. It seems to me that people are far

LESS protected now than they were then.

And contracts of any and all kinds have all sorts of exclusions built

into them - to imply that you have free choice when you really don't.

In general, people are powerless to prevent the stealing of their

lives by toxins, they have to just pray that they don't have the bad

luck to be one of those people stuck in a bad situation.

And if you are, even if the situation is clear, good luck getting a lawyer.

I heard recently that the GOP is passing a law that would require that

people winning personal injury lawsuits first, before even paying

their medical bills or lawyers, REPAY all of the health insurance

companies going back to the beginning of their illness, for all the

money that they had spent on it.

Off the top.

This would have the effect of making it impossible for injured people

to get lawyers, unless the injury was very serious and also very

recent (and they had not had many medical expenses yet)

Hows that for Washington's priorities?
