Stand up, stand up. You've been sitting way too long.

So big is the healthcare industry and the bloated waste and fraud.

If the government wanted to make, it cost... and the bloated waste and fraud.

It would get all this money back in a few years.

Stand up, stand up.

You've been sitting way too long.

Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.

I'm Steve Scrovan along with David Feldman and of course Ralph.

Hello David and Ralph.

Hello? Let's get right to it.

Toyota and the Justice Department have agreed on a 1.2 billion dollar settlement to close a criminal probe into whether the automaker handled cases of sudden acceleration properly.

This seemed to be a template for whatever settlement they might have for GM.

Do you think GM is looking at a $1.2 billion settlement?

Well, I think it's probably more serious because there are about 300 deaths in these cars over the years

due to a defect GM knew about over 10 years ago and covered up and there 300 deaths. The Toyota settlement was based on

misleading the government and not adequately reporting safety findings to the government.

And so the GM one is going to be considered much more serious.

So it is likely to be criminal prosecution, perhaps of certain GM officials down the line who covered up,

and there are going to be many more product liability cases.

The $1.2 billion dollar settlement by the way
