I hate stupid people.

We have these two initiatives. One is 330. It is an initiative that will limit individuals rights to sue. It would "require disputes concerning malpractice to be sumitted to arbitrate," and will limit the amount that a person could be entitled. So you go in for a heart transplant, you get a new kidney, and die because your heart explodes. Your family cannot sue, and you are limited to a max of 350K. Got love that, your life in Washington could be limited to 350 thousand dollars.

The best part of all this is the pro-330 group. They say "Our opponents' arguments are a collection of smokescreens, half-truths and misleading sound bites ..." However, if you read the opponents arguments against 330 you will see direct references to the 330 initiative. It points to all the bad things that this initiative does to keep the insurance companies rich. I personally always thought insurance was suppose to be there to protect us incase of a bad incidence.

The other initiative is 336. This initiative is written by lawyers and is aimed to punish bad doctors. Basically, it makes it so that doctors that commit several bad mistakes that have been found to be malpractice will not be allowed to be insured and licensed in this state. What does this do for us? Well, if bad doctors are not insured then the rates do not have to be raised to protect bad doctors. Is this a great solution? I don't know. The law is written better and protects the individuals as oppossed to the corporations.

Now the opponents have a chance to point to all the bad things in initiative 336, but what do they say? "Just when voters are being asked to enact meaningful reform to lower malpractice costs, greedy personal injury lawyers have responded with a cynical attempt to punish good doctors and make even more money from lawsuits." Of course not a single, not one, reference that would suggest this comment or any other is true or based in the real world is given. Of course who is supporting the anti-336 movement? None other than the pro-330's with there "meaningful reform."

Everyone blames the lawyers...until they need one.

I wonder what percentage of stupid people in Washington will vote for I-330.
