Oklahoma Injury Lawyer Blog

Bob Kraft has a good blog post summarizing new research that shows Tort Reform Made Healthcare Worse in Texas. Oklahoma is going through similar insurance company-backed changes to our state's tort law. The only thing "tort reform" helps is insurance company profits. The "Failed Experiment" report by Public Citizen shows:

• The amount of doctors in Texas did not increased significantly (you'll notice the commercials in Oklahoma claim the failed logic that doctors are leaving because we need tort reform)
• The report concludes "that using Texas as a model would benefit doctors and insurers - not residents"
• Healthcare costs and insurance premiums have increased more than the national average
  

Did you hear about Google having to settle for half a billion dollars with the Department of Justice? Google allowed ads on their site for Canadian pharmacies. It's big business because consumers can buy their prescriptions for so much cheaper there. Medical Billing and Coding has a nice graphic detailing our high cost of drugs (note that there is nothing mentioned about our "lawsuit crisis" that insurance companies and their politicians keep touting):
