What the Hell is a “Consumer Advocate?”
From the Associated Press:
COLUMBUS - Attorney General Marc Dann approved the ballot language Tuesday proposed by a group of consumer advocates who want to repeal a wide-ranging law that places limits on consumer fraud lawsuits.
What the Associated Press calls “a group of consumer advocates”, I’d call “shady trial lawyers who want to remove newly created, sensible limitations on non-economic damages, in addition to a ban on frivolous lead paint lawsuits.”
The AP uses the phrase “consumer advocates” twice, without quotes, as if it is a given that consumers benefit from excessive lawsuit settlements, which drive up the price of goods and health care FOR CONSUMERS and kill jobs… which helps reduce the amount of goods and services that Ohio CONSUMERS can pay for.
In Ohio, it appears that “consumer advocates” have quite an anti-consumer agenda.

Exuse me Mathew, but “sensible limtitation” is not 5k for non-economic damages. Another day, another shot at Trial Lawyers…..

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH FRAUD IS IN THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM?
DO YOU HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE HISTORY OF THE HMO & PPO?
YOU ARE AS IGNORANT as this SO-CALLED PRESIDENT!
