Not to worry, WVa. Just have your governor do what the governor of Pennsylvania did--issue a letter threatening to prosecute them for patient abandonment if they close their practices down.

Will the guv'na pay for insurance premiums for the surgeons and other docs? The dirty little secret of medical liability insurance is that only 30% of the premiums go to (allegedly) injured plaintiffs. The trial lawyers get their 30-40% of course. But the costs of the DEFENSE attorneys is equal to the payouts to the plaintiffs attorneys!!

God forbid the pathetic excuse for a governor in Pennsylvania would enact tort reform to lower the income of his lawyer buddies.

And what if the docs simply say they have retired? Can the gov sue them for retiring? What if they take up another profession, say selling cars? Can the gov sue them for that? The lawyers have ruined most businesses, why not medicine too? As long as they get theirs ($$$$), they could care less.

Keep in mind that our last two presidents, both Klintoons, are lawyers. They got major backing from the corrupt trial lawyers as well as from the lawyers in Congress and a major pass from those RATS in the Senate.
