With the movie "Ray" up for awards one of Mr. Charles' best known songs is "Georgia on my Mind". The State of Georgia legislature has passed tort reform that limits non economic damages to $350,000 and raises to a clear and convincing standard to show gross negligence instead of preponderance of the evidence for law suit against ED care. The legislation also limits what one pays to their proportion of damages, allows providers to offer apologies without these being used in a court. Top
Save us from the Democratic legislators who wish to ruin California. A California State Senator introduced a bill again for a state run health insurance system. The proposed system would be run by taxes. There would be a employer payroll tax of 2% of salary, and employee payroll tax of 3%, a 3.5% tax on unearned income, a 12% tax of net business income of self employed and an additional 1% tax on all income over $200,000. The problems of the state version of Hiliarycare is the increase in bureaucracy the reduction of choice and the going back to the rationing of care as what happened under the managed care schemes. This is the same bill that failed in 2003 in the Assembly and would be vetoed by the Governor. Top
