		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an elephant in the room in the health care debate. We&#8217;re hearing a lot about high medical costs and uninsured people. And then there are the fake controversies over things like &#8220;death panels.&#8221; But what isn&#8217;t being discussed is the issue of patient safety. Instead, we&#8217;re hearing about national medical malpractice reforms and damage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Texans are proud of doing things in a big way.  Unfortunately, big, loud and proud sometimes misses the mark on the wisdom front. It happened again.
In 2003, Texans went big and amended their state constitution to cap damages that can be recovered in medical malpractice claims. The proponents argued long and loud about the parade [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a somewhat misleading piece on the use of so-called &#8220;Independent&#8221; Medical Exams in the courtroom.
The article interviews Portland defense lawyer Ron Stephenson.  Ron suggests that both sides use biased medical providers. So it follows, according to the article, that it&#8217;s okay&#8211;even essential&#8211;that the defense use a biased medical examiner.
I&#8217;ve handled cases against Ron and [...]]]></description>

These are often labeled &#8220;independent medical exams.&#8221; Here, the New York Times does an admirable job of highlighting problems with insurance medical exams.  One of the doctors interviewed by the Times [...]]]></description>

The problem illustrates the need for open courts in cases involving medical errors. If you have any doubt about the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good explanation in&#8211;of all places&#8211;Forbes on how caps on damages discriminate against retired and lower-earning individuals. Oregon legislators and voters are often asked to consider capping damages, and for that reason, this is a good read.
As the author explains, caps on damages typically limit non-economic damages.  Non-economic damages have been wrongfully labeled as &#8220;compensation for [...]]]></description>

Interestingly, Allstate&#8217;s CEO&#8217;s 2007 compensation topped $10 million for the year.  That&#8217;s a lot of premium money. [...]]]></description>
