Reply #3: Oh, I hope the Senate holds out!

The trial lawyers have done a piss poor job of defending themselves.

All the facts are on their side -- evidence that caps don't reduce premiums and evidence that the insurance agencies are cooking the books to hide obscene profits -- but they aren't handling the PR well. The insurance industry has doctors on the news, busses them up to Tallahassee to protest, and is generally kicking the lawyers' collective ass in the "court of public opinion."

I hope they know what they are doing.
