Santorum Tort Reform Hypocrisy
Loading...
Uploaded by TheYoungTurks on Jan 8, 2012
2012 Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum came out strong in favor of tort reform to cap medical malpractice damages to $250k - that was until his wife sued her chiropractor. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur explains.

I DO NOT LIKE Rick Santorum. Ugh.

Mrs. Santorum is an attorney. So I'm not surprised. Besides $500k in a lawsuit for a back injury is peanuts. Everyone knows you start high and negotiate downward. In any event perhaps this caused Mr. Santorum to reconsider his position. If he still advocated for a $250k cap after his experience then I would be outraged. If this is the best you've got on Santorum. Then he is my candidate!

@AdsumModo No, I dont put him to a higher standard, we insult them all for the same reasons.
Its not like hes getting it harsher than the others just because we dont mention all of them each time we mention each of them.
-
It is truly unfortunate that outrageous hypocrites like Santorum are not subjected to their moronic and self serving proposed legislation. Would it not be beautiful to have Santorum permanently crippled by medical malpractice and unable to sue for more than $250,000? Scum like Santorum who feel that they are above the laws or rules should be prevented from serving in public office.

It would be better if you could agree with the hospital/doctor beforehand on this stuff, like how disputes would be handled, how much you could sue for, etc, rather than enforce your preferences on the entire population through law.

@MakisOfEquinox yes I know that... -__-... Obamacare was made up by Fox
-
@muslimgiga you realize there is no such thing as obamacare? it's a word made by the stupid right wing to make healthcare seem like a bad idea when in Europe it's a great thing and a standard, but you're apparently a brained washed right winger,look up fox news bias &come back to me &try to believe that the right wing knows what theyre doing ¬ what they actually are, which is a bunch of fucking arguing children. btw i am a firm believer that capitalism is great but we could learn from others
-
@MakisOfEquinox hmm...well I guess your against obamacare then. No way I'm paying my taxes for someone else's damned mistakes. I'd rather pay HIGHER TAXES to keep a child alive than pay for an abortion.
-
@muslimgiga anyone's abortion shouldn't be paid for by the gov unless it was rape. If the person is paying for it themselves then that's THEIR choice &who's the gov to impose that just because some people whined about how it's against what their fairy tale books says is right and wrong,& to the comment about"closing your legs" anybody should be able to have sex with whoever they please. personally i am a guy who is happy with who i got but if someone wants to fuck a million people then so be it

@timesplitters333 Enjoy wiping your arse with your Obama money dickhead

Cenk, you shouldn't cite the judge overturning the decision of the jury as if it's damning evidence that Santorum's wife sued for too much, the Judge could very easily just be a corporate douche bag who isn't interested in giving ANYONE fair compensation from a company that has wronged them.
