Meanwhile, State Senator Dennis Jones, RINO scum, quack chiro, all-around sleazebucket, has introduced Senate Bill 972, which takes away the ability of an MD or a DO to "go bare" and almost doubles the amount of medical liability insurance that a physician must carry.

I assume that Chiros are exempt.

I hate RINO scum, especially when they are also QUACKS

Well, I'm glad at least that the chiropractic nonsense got voted down. The odious RINO Jim King was supporting it, of course.

The Sen. King school of massage therapy is shot down-ping.

"especially when state funding is so scarce and it could damage the school's reputation."

This is my alma mater (at least one of them). There's a story behind the story. The current school president is a Republican and a former speaker of the FL house during the historical Republican coup. The bill to create the chiro school was pushed by another Republican, Jim King, who apparently wanted a college named after him. This whole thing was pure political backroom dealing, and my party was guilty.

On warchant.com, the academic message board has been devoted to the outrage this scheme was causing. Alumni, boosters, the medschool faculty, students, and the general public were incensed. Everyone but the politicla kingpins knew a chiro school would only FSU in the long run. The board of trustees bowed to the political pressure. But thank-goodness the board of governors had a dose of sanity and killed the deal.

Tallahassee politics, business as usual.

Glad to hear the chiropractor school has been shelved. The news about Senate Bill 972 is disturbing.

My years of back problems are a thing of the past since getting regular chiropractic care.

I suppose some dentists are incompetent quacks, too, but I'll get my teeth checked each year.

Do you have a link to this new bill 972? The Florida Senate leadership completely screwed the docs during the med mal special sessions, and it wouldn't suprise me to see Sen. Jones do it again.
