#1. There is NO NEED to advertise Prescription Drugs--THAT decision is between the MD & the Patient.

#2. Health Insurance is a "SELLER'S MARKET!" There is NO Rational need for a "Health Insurance Company" to advertise to the General Public. "Health Insurance Ads" are Targeted at the Companies who provide Insurance; the ads are attempts to persuade companies to change vendors. #3 ALL Insurance company advertising HAS TO skim Funds from Patient Care.

I Believe we're talking about Tens of Millions of Dollars---WASTED!!

Perhaps you missed the major tort reform bill they passed at the beginning of the year. The ABA went nuts.

OF all the tort reform suggested...it did more to curb bogus suits than anything.

It keeps the big cases from going to 3 specific courts.
One of them is in South East Texas.

The judges are nationally known for being "pals" of plaintiff attys.

Meaning that a few bucks of kickback will more than guarantee a smooth ride.
