Can we just get a thread that only lawyers can post on?
So the system before Obamacare was like a 4, even if you go with the idea that Obamacare is worse than before, easy to disagree, we will throw it in as a 2, the new bill is somewhere in the negative range.
Which is fine, because it is clearly the only way we are ever going to even hope to get back to a 4, much less improve beyond that. If we stick to Obamacare the system does nothing but get worse, and will naturally head toward the negative range itself. So either start the process now or wait until it collapses. Again, thanks Obama.
So we need to hire [Redacted] or else Dino is going to keep getting worse.
That's because most trial court judges suck at controlling their calendar. The vast majority of cases aren't legally complicated and pose zero new issues of law requiring an opinion, they are simply factual disputes. If judges would sack up and control their courtroom as opposed to letting the lawyers control it, then they could streamline the process significantly. No continuances, no extensions of time for discovery, and if you aren't ready to roll the first time your case is called then it gets dismissed; if you're not ready to try it at the next session then don't file it. If you make a Motion or defend a Motion and don't have an Order ready to be signed with you at the motion hearing (or able to be printed before said hearing session is over), you lose. If you move to substitute counsel, you lose. Cut through the bullshit and force lawyers to waste their own time on questionable cases, which will begin to reduce the number of them.
I understand that this thread has moved away from the lawyer discussion, but I have to ask - how are you this stupid?
The GOP bill would also require states create their own health-care programs by 2020, which the directors argue is a massive undertaking.
"The scope of this work, and the resources required to support state planning and implementation activities, cannot be overstated," the directors said.
"States will need to develop overall strategies, invest in infrastructure development, systems changes, provider and managed care plan contracting, and perform a host of other activities. The vast majority of states will not be able to do so within the two-year timeframe envisioned here, especially considering the apparent lack of federal funding in the bill to support these critical activities."
Fair enough. Let's steer the conversation back to how awful Obamacare is.
It will take a full generation before the GOP gets over the fact of a black president
The romanticizing of our health care from pre-obamacare is absurdly revisionist. No question it still has it's problems, but people have just forgotten or didn't realize what a disaster our healthcare was beforehand.
