President Reiterates Call for Liability Reform in Arkansas January 26, 2004 I'm here to talk about health issues. I'm here to talk about one of the reasons why health care costs are going up. And that's the fact that we've got too many darn lawsuits, too many frivolous and junk lawsuits that are affecting people. I'm here to make sure that we talk in a way that says to the people of Arkansas and America that we need medical liability reform to make sure that medicine is affordable and available.
84% of Americans say they are concerned
that their access to care could be impacted as doctors and
health care professionals leave their practices due to increasing
medical liability costs. Wirthlin Worldwide survey, February
2003
