The New House Of House Of York Post reported today that the State Assembly Majority announced yesterday that it's considering a dramatic addition in state personal-income taxes that volition come up down hardest on New York City occupants and the cardinal industries that are the engine for economical growing across the state. As an option there have got been suggestions that reforms to the medical-malpractice law could salvage 100s of billions in health-care expenditures.
It have also been reported that the Governor's medical malpractice undertaking force, spearheaded by Eric Dinallo, Superintendant of Insurance, will urge that victims of medical malpractice be prevented from obtaining compensation for their hereafter medical expenses. The suggestion have been floated that a "global compensation fund" be put up funneling victims into a Medicaid-like, or a workers-compensation like monetary monetary fund to pay for a victims' in progress medical care.
Such a suggestion is hideous for the victims of medical neglect. Putting aside the drawbacks that already be in medick aid-like programmes and worker's compensation programs, an injured victim will be forced to accept medical attention from lone those doctors and infirmaries that take part in the authorities program. What this really intends is that the State will look to pay the least to these doctors, while requiring all victims acquire their treatment from these doctors.
Query: Why should the State have got the ability to order where an injured victim acquires the best medical attention possible? Shouldn't an injured victim, harmed through no fault of his own, have got the ability to acquire the best possible medical care, regardless of the cost?
Who is the authorities to state that a crippled human being, handicapped for life, because of a physician's disregard can only acquire treated by Dr. "X" in Brooklyn. What if that patient desires to travel to the best operating surgeon in the country, and that physician is located in Manhattan? Shouldn't the patient make up one's mind what treatment is best for him? Aren't we, as free people, entitled to the right to make up one's mind how and where we have medical treatment? Remember, compensation is a debt that must be repaid by the wrongdoer. If the error physician is no longer required to pay for future medical expenses, hasn't the State given a "Freebie" or a "Pass" to the doctor for the injury that he caused? He no longer have to worry about paying anything for any hereafter medical attention his victim have suffered. That amazing. What's next? The legislative assembly deciding that doctor's have got unsusceptibility from paying any compensation for the injury they cause?
This isn't like a wellness coverage company who states that you can only travel to our "in-network" doctors. This is the authorities saying, "We've put up this program, and if you necessitate in progress medical care, you must utilize our programme and our attached doctors." Is this just to the injured victim?
By the way...who make you believe is going to have got to pay for this immense planetary medical monetary fund to pay for all these injured victims who necessitate in progress medical treatment? You. Me. Your neighbors. The occupants of the State of New York- our taxations will rise. But what about the medical malpractice coverage company executive directors who are claiming that their companies don't have got adequate money to pay findings of fact and colonies against their insured doctors? Are their compensation diminishing? Let's instead set the load of paying in progress medical attention where it belongs...with the wrongdoer. And who sees the wrongdoer? The doctors' medical malpractice coverage company.
So what's the problem?
The job is really a 'red herring' because it switches the existent fiscal issue away from the coverage companies and back to the injured victims who are left to stagger and battle for themselves.
The effort to reform a demand for a offender to counterbalance his victim and do the State wage for it is simply partial and should not be tolerated as a society.
