“You can make 30 times as much money as doctors, by becoming a trial lawyer suing doctors. You need no skills, no superior board scores, no decade of training and no sleepless residency. But you must have the morals of a drug dealer.”
further,
“As long as we’re studying the health care systems of various socialist countries, are we allowed to notice that doctors in these other countries aren’t constantly being sued by bottom-feeding trial lawyers stealing one-third of the income of people performing useful work like saving lives?”

Tort reform is one of the biggest parts. Trial lawyers are one of Obama’s biggest supporters.
I am looking for an image of Chuck Colson for our website so that I can embed an audio file for visitors to listen. Is this a free pic that I may use?
Sure! I think you’re able to license freely under creative commons.
