New Report Says 'Health Courts' Bureaucracies Offer Big Financial Burdens and Loss of Patient Rights
Date:9/27/2007

led at every stage by

the insurance industry.

-- A health courts bureaucracy would not be affordable without

substantial increases in doctors malpractice premiums.

-- Patients would be forced into the bureaucracies without any choice,

and many claims would be arbitrarily limited or barred altogether.

-- Patients would have to prove the "avoidability" of their injuries

and even those successful in their claim would be under-compensated.

-- Wrongdoers would not be held accountable, and the deterrent effect

of the civil justice system would be eradicated.

The authors conclude the health courts concept is misguided and encourage proponents to abandon it as "bad public policy."

As the world's largest trial bar, AAJ (formerly known as the Association of Trial Lawyers of America) promotes justice and fairness for injured persons, defends the constitutional right to tria by jury, and strengthens the civil justice system through education and disclosure of information critical to public health and safety. The AAJ provides lawyers with the information and professional assistance they need to serve clients successfully and protect the democratic values of the civil justice system.
