Supreme Court To Patients: Screw You!

And come back when you're rich. Well, the assault on everyone who isn't independently wealthy continues. By generously interpreting a pension law for unintended purposes, the SCOTUS has turned the screw on patients once again.

Oh, and anytime someone says that lawsuits drive up the cost of health care, they are either a) bought off, b) lying, c) full of shit, or d) all three.

UPDATE: There's a good post over at the Daily Kos about Bush and this Texas patients' right legislation, which he blatantly lied about in the 2000 campaign (like the rest of his prevarications, it went unchallenged). Compassionate conservatism!
