I really do not understand why the hospital is being so Obama-y (substitute word for sh*thead) about this. They are already in deep Obamastuff, and one would think they’d cooperate so as to reduce their upcoming settlement from $1 billion to half that.

Does every family who has a family a member die in a hospital deserve a billion, or only the ones that can get the media in on their story? Geez, and you wonder why Hospital costs are so high.

California has tort reform. Non-economic damages are capped at $250K. The family will get a settlement but it'll be very low seven figures at best.
