Are Trial Lawyers A Special Interest Group?

We have been hearing a great deal about health reform. I previously noted that special interest groups are likely to be the down-fall of health reform. Trial lawyers are spending their own money in Washington. No doubt there is self-interest in the Trial Lawyers' effort to protect peoples' right to bring claims. What is different is that people who are injured through medical negligence have no one to speak for them. Insurance companies and drug companies are not looking out for the patient. If the Trial Lawyers are successful in protecting the rights of victims of malpractice. It is the patient who is the beneficiary of those efforts. Michael J. Quinn, Esq.
