re: I am afraid I am failing to follow your logic here. If people are dying while waiting their turn, doesn't that show that the system is not working?)))

But they just die one at a time--tough to build a constituency that way.

Orlando has lost its top-tier trauma system. Now if you're in a serious accident, you may well have to spend more time in transport, perhaps losing that critical "golden hour" advantage.

They lost their trauma teams because of insurance difficulties.

Now, is Orlando, a huge city with millions of tourists a year, squawking? Have you heard about it?

That's because disasters happen to individuals, not to large constituencies.

It gets better in Florida..... thank the lawyers..... for those in Central Florida.... ask your referal doctors for the nearest Pediatric Neurosurgeon.... that's the guy that will drill a hole in your child's head if he gets a blood clot in it from getting hit or an accident.... good luck. Now we can only hope that a lawyers kid gets whacked... then watch him sue everybody on the medical food chain as his kid gets airlifted and shipped around without definitive medical care. Sounds cold... tough sh$t.. that's what happened to a friend of mine's kid who had to be shipped due to the fact that no local neurosurgeon would "touch" this kid due to "liability" issues and lack of malpractice insurance coverage with a pediatric waiver for emergencies.

the comment about people dying not constituents is correct..... what will happen is that no life saving heroics will be tried because there's a chance of "failure" or disability..... so if they (the patients) die.... oh well.... bad luck, heh?.... That's what is happening and is going to get worse. Why risk your neck for a lawyer waiting for a bad outcome..... ? If you do 100 craniotomies then a percentage of them will die, a percentage of them will have bad disabilities but a percentage of them will live ...normally.

Now at least all will be equal.. just like libs like... they'll all die. Isn't life just peachy? Thank you Trial Lawyers of America.... and associated liberal parasites.
