The third film titled "More Lawyers, Fewer Doctors" takes a sobering look at how frivolous medical-liability lawsuits have triggered closure of medical facilities and caused a mass exodus of doctors from overlawyered states leaving residents without access to care. Jackpot Justice is a Documentary Series based on the policy research of Lawrence McQuillan, Pacific Research Institute's director of Business and Economic Studies. The film was produced by Lur Films and Ozymandias Media and made possible by the support of The Arthur N. Rupe Foundation.
During the 2004 presidential campaign, one principal plank of George W. Bush's domestic platform was reforming tort law, which includes class action lawsuits, asbestos liability, and medical malpractice liability. President Bush believes that tort law as it now stands permits trial lawyers to take advantage of good companies, driving up the costs of doing business for everyone. Others believe that existing tort law allows consumers to protect themselves against bad companies. Which is it? And should President Bush be given the tort reforms he wants? Peter Robinson speaks with David Davenport and Alan Morrison.
