I think what's important to note here, is the following:
"The trial lawyers, being a very powerful lobby, have consistently opposed the idea"
As long as lobbies such as this are permitted to exist, the general public a large is always going to get the shaft...
Those entities with time and money to burn are always going to forge alliances with those who possess little to no moral or ethical values and are only motivated by how much money they can put in their pocket.
If this were not the case, our public airwaves would not be polluted with the stupid pointless marketing of legal firms willing to file suit at the drop of a hat.
