Congressman Nadler delivers his opening statement in a hearing on how fraud and abuse in the asbestos compensation system affects victims and the economy. Just as with the tobacco industry, the days in which the health effects of asbestos can be denied are long over. Yet some companies have spent decades concealing the medical dangers of their product, failing to protect their workers, and fighting to avoid legal responsibility in the courts and in Congress. As asbestos cases will continue for years to come, victims of asbestos poisoning should not have to bear the burden of their treatment just so a company's bottom-line isn't affected.
