As Congress Debates Health Reform Measures, Some Still Want To Strip Injured People Of Their Legal Rights

This is a great clip showing extreme efforts conservative members of congress will go to promote their big-business agenda.  Here you can see Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) constantly getting interrupted by his Republican colleagues chanting 'trial lawyer' as Braley champions patient safety in health care.

In his closing arguments, Congressman Braley states:

“During this entire health care debate, we've heard a lot from our friends on the other side of the aisle about something called medical liability reform, but all day as they've been talking about this point, you have not heard one word about patient safety.”

Good point congressman.
