Re: doctor has no malpractice insurance

The biggest problem is not the lack of insurance. If your father was not married and had no children under 25 years of age, then the Republicans who make the laws down here in Florida have protected the doctor from suit. That's right, if a doctor negligently kills someone without a spouse or child under 25 then he or she cannot be sued.

Take a guess as to whether the doctors' lobiests gave more money to the Republicans or whether injured patients did.
