4. The article is largely accurate (except for the subtitle) - rare for the DemGaz.

This really should not be a partisan issue. Under current Arkansas law, a plaintiff can recover medical bills that have been written-off after the plaintiff's insurance has paid. Juries are lied to about the medical bills and there is nothing defendants can do about it. Plaintiff's should recover the medical bills that are either paid or still owed, but not amounts that are neither paid nor owed. It's really a matter of simple fairness.

Someone at the state party simply regurgitated what a plaintiff's lawyer told them without troubling to read the very short and simple bill.

The state party continues to ignore my e-mail. It seems that the opinions of life-long Democrats who are tort defense lawyers are unimportant.
