Or are they mad about high malpractice insurance premiums? There is a difference.
If it's just the high premiums, the DemocRAT'S solution will be to have the premiums paid by the government (i.e. the taxpayers). This is not desired at all. It is the WRONG solution.
The correct solution is to severely narrow the scope for trial attorney action, fees, and restrict liability. In addition malpractice should be criminalized, not kept as a feeding ground for the trial lawyers.
If there's no money in it, the problem goes away. Don't just shift the cost to the taxpayers.
What is your concept of malpractice as a criminal act? (i.e., what would I have to do to be guilty of this "crime"?)
