it's worked fine -- they have -- by the way about 1/10 the number of malpractice lawsuits over there, because of the loser pay rules. >> well, i don't know. certainly there's a lot of goofy lawsuits out there but whether they actually see the light of day and result in a settlement you don't need tort reform because you have justice roberts. justice roberts' choort been gutting plaintiffs actions and plaintiffs litigation for the last several years now. and it's -- only going to continue under the justice roberts' court. >> but rich karlgaard, the fact is this thing is costing billions. all of these frivolous lawsuits, very often companies and cities and state governments, they would much prefer to settle for a couple hundred thousand here a couple hundred thousand there and that adds up. doesn't it? >> it really does add up. if you add it all up across country something on the order of more than $250 billion per year. that's s1.5% of our gdp. that's what's stripped out of the potential growth compounded over a generation. it means tens of millions to people who should be comfortably

you add up all of the costs of malpractice and is a 0.3% of health-care spending. the best evidence comes from the kennedy school. one leader their estimates is about 3% of health-care spending but the truth is, he just pulled out of a hat. we just do not know how much is defensive medicine. that is why the bill includes the ability of states to set up pilot for alternative ways to adjudicate malpractice, legal panels and other things. if you have a relative killed by a doctor, you would be hacked about only getting $100,000. it is not clear that a damaged cap would be the answer. where it is appropriate to the damage done. we don't know how to get there yet. my instinct is even without malpractice laws, doctors would be worried about doing the right thing. we would like to try and see if that could help. >> stage right. >> there has been some editorials in the medical community about the success of medicine. more people are living into old age. ,ill have more dementia worldwide incidences of dementia. of life care being so expensive, will the braille -- bill suppo

they also pay for medical malpractice. he's the only doctor in the congress to cut a sweetheart deal. the only one. cassidy: again making multiple comments and we have addressed those with senator landrieu has consistently turned around to put it into words the possible like that again for 25 years i've been caring for people in the hospital for the uninsured and poor. if we want transparency we will say who's benefited and in my case it is my patients. i returned to senator landrieu. when she takes the charter jets that you and i pay for in the campaign events, who benefited from that? landrieu: let's talk straight to the heart of the merit in people where they live. the average american is struggling to keep a roof over their heads and put their kids through college. what are you saying to the person sitting out there right now who perhaps is watching this debate and is really struggling with those issues. congressman, with "you. it is so pervasive in the society. they allow the substitute teacher to work more than 30 ho

that's what we call journalist malpractice. i don't think that would fly at cnn. it wouldn't fly here at "the washington post" or or any other reputable outlet. "rolling stone" has done a huge disservice to the victim in this case. >> i think not only the victim and i'll ask you about this in a second. i think women in general who legitimately have been sexually assaulted and raped. i hope to god that their cries are taken seriously. eric, let me stay with you. this is from "the washington post." the woman, jackie, spoke with "the post" since this became public in "rolling stone." she told a reporter i never asked for this. what bothers me is that so many people act like it didn't happen. it's my life. i have had to live with the fact that it happened every day for the last two years. so she, eric, at least according to your newspaper, is stand bin by her story. >> it's important to separate here the journalism "rolling stone" did from the woman who made these accusations. it's clear the one part of the "rolling stone" story that does have on the record sourcing s

amounts to journalistic malpractice. but there's also a question of agenda-driven journalism here. >> meaning what? >> meaning that i happen to dig up today a speech by a guy who just showed supervised managing -- speech was titled in defense of biased reporting. he said biased reporting is more honest than straight journalism, but said you have to be more careful about the facts. that clearly wasn't the case and rolling stone no secret it's a liberal magazine wanted a sen sensational story. >> and now they're expanding their apology. but it's not really having much effect on many of the student body, or maybe it's just the far left. you tell me. here's an example. this is one kid by the name of rex humphrey, second year there who pledged a fraternity last spring. this is, i believe, from politico today, this weekend. if we're being honest with ourselves, no matter specifics of the article are true, reading the article as a college student you know you were thinking this could happen. your first reaction is, not this is

it would have been political malpractice for him to not get through his controversial nominees and we would have gotten through those. in fact, i don't want to bore the audience with senate procedure but the cloture on those nominations wouldn't have been able to ripen anyway. >> how do you respond to the public criticism from your own side? senator corker calling this irresponsible. senator kay yacht quoto -- ayot is ridiculous. >> i think it was referring to the fact we came in saturday to take votes. i think it would have been ridiculous for us to break for the weekend. there was a proposal friday night to which i objected that the senate should take a 72-hour recess in the middle of all of this. there was a 72-hour period where they wanted to leave with a trillion dollar spending bill on the table. i thought it was not unreasonable to say we need do our jobs. >> let's talk about the overall spending bill. we have a number of appropriations bills that fund through september of next year but the one that's a continuing resolution or shorter term funding measure for the department of

this is malpractice. you asked earlier about my experiences and how they form my opinion. as a litigator in a law firm, i know it's like to review thousands and thousands of documents as i did as a senate investigator. that's half the story for you then have to go and talk to the people who wrote those e-mails or memos and letters and asking them -- what did you mean by this? what did you do when you wrote this e-mail? what exactly did you glean from this investigation? that is the fundamental flaw of senator feinstein's report. they did not go and ask the professionals themselves and they have depicted them as a bunch of masochists running around torturing people for no good reason. host: the report says the cia used brutal interrogation techniques and that's our focus on this sunday. michael from bakersfield, california, good morning. caller: good morning. g mr. i'm a former united states marineross,. i know all about these techniques. we were not trained under those type of techniques. something you are not paying this analto is technique is not a technique. the stuff t

in san diego that we had concerns about because that doctor had not only been found liable for malpractice by his license was reviewed by the state of california. we have been on the forefront of this issue for two years. the fact that we are now in a place where d.e.a. agents are raiding teams on game day is a place where this league should not be. so when we raise a concern two years ago that a team together is referring our players to a wikipedia page about toradol instead of giving each and every one of our players informed consent about what the drugs are and what they could do to you, that is a bad place to be. >> al: great game as it is, there have been tragic stories -- junior seau committing suicide, fred mcneil can't remember the score to have the super bowl he was in -- terrible stories. the league has started to address the issue of brain injuries. there is a settlement that's still pending. is the response sufficient so far? >> the response is never going to be sufficient because i would hope that roger would agree with me that we should never be satisfied about where we are.

it would have been political malpractice for him to adjourn without getting this through. not one person will be confirmed because of this who would not have been otherwise confirmed. bill: that includes the surgeon general? >> correct. bill: what happens in january? >> in february the department of homeland security which is charged with enforce our immigration laws including the president's recent program will run out of funding. so our hope is when we get back next year we'll unroll a plan to attach a spending limitation to any spending bill we pass for that department that would restrict the president from his ability to engage in this unslawsm executive order. bill: ted cruz says he wants to see what the new leadership will do on this. what do you think mitch mcconnell is prepared to do and the speaker of the house john boehner. >> i don't know. i make it a point never to speak for my colleagues and certainly the senate majority leadered. but our membership expects we'll do something meaningful to impose a spending limit on the president's ability to implement this pr

interesting that when you talk about the sec with its guidance and other rules, we are at risk for malpractices and law firms need to do more to prove that they are protecting themselves. cyber crime on a corporate level described as a three stage process. the first is the denial of service, the second is the step of information. the third is the distraction of property, effectively. stoxx net for the irani and centrifuge. what we are talking about seems to fit into the second category, the theft of information. why has the third not happened yet? if these hackers are as powerful as we seem to believe that to be , why have they not gone that far? that far youou go come close to committing an act of war, to be frank. if a foreign nation comes and actively destroys data and property and causes significant harm to the u.s. economy, at a national security level that's the equivalent of bombing an organization. >> that is what happened in saudi arabia, right? >> it happened with 30,000 computers there being destroyed, but if you look deeper into it they were not linked to any of the production faci

in america right now in operating rooms across this country there's a doctor who has just done a malpracticedoesn't mean every doctor is bad. the majority, the orwhverwhelmi of police officers do their job right and not out to hurt people. we have to remember that as well. having said this is a tragedy of epic proportions and there's no indictment. >> reverend al, if i could just ask the question that you asked, joe, what the hell happened in staten island? i'll answer it. eric garner was killed by police. >> that's the problem. i think the problem is that we cannot depend on impartiality with local state prosecution on police. there has to be an outside mechanism. one of the reasons civil rights leaders are meeting this morning talking about marching in washington next saturday the 13th is to say the justice department must take it out of the local fwgrand jury realm. >> they opened an investigation. because grand juries basically only get what the local prosecutor gives them. and they are elected. they have to deal with police joins. they have to deal with the police on a day-to-day basis

"why is the malpractice system so crazy and what's the way it should be?" i've written about, "why do we itch?" you know, if it's confusing and interesting to me, writing is my way of diving in and figuring out what to at least think about it. and this was one of the big ones. the two big unfixables are aging and dying. you know, they're not... you can't fix those. we're afraid of talking to the patient about these problems as well. a lot of doctors feel like, "i know how to have this conversation. i know exactly what i'm doing." but what i knew, what i could see over and over again, was that we weren't particularly good at handling people going through the last days of their life. i've had to learn that because of patients with whom, you know, they did not end up with a good experience at all. and then i've had to learn it the hard way because of my dad. do you remember when dad first started to get pain in his neck? instead, what they found was a tumor-- a huge tumor. i remember i took notes in my journal around that time. this is my dad saying, "the way
