If you want to see what allows them to flourish, look in the mirror if you are a US citizen. It is Citizen Joe that sides with them on the jury. Yes, there are a few cases that are ridiculous but the threat of going to trial and losing has people settling. Now, if the jury were to be sensible about it and not give them the awards they seek, they would go elsewhere to look for work. 33% of nothing is still nothing.
Seen it in other countries. Don't want it in this one. Govt can't even manage to spend within the budget and plays fast and loose with it, Medicare and Medicaid claims are a mess and you want universal health care managed by the same people? Isn't that kinda masochistic?
