Abbott is the sort of person who got rich from jogging in a wind storm and having a property owners tree fall on him.
Then he waged a war against people being able to sue doctors for malpractice.
Those facts tell everyone 100% of what they need to know about Abbott. He is pure evil and irredeemable.
There is nothing wrong with that. Lawsuits are a part of our medical expenses that we all pay for. While there are few successful ones, the litigation costs tons of money that a doctors malpractice has to pay for which of course increases premiums.
It also leads to defensive medicine; the practice of having to see several doctors instead of just one. Unlike years ago where your family doctor took care of most of your ailments, today your family doctor is nothing but a referal service. If you are having problems with your eyes, you need to see an eye specialist. If you have a sore throat, you need to see an ear, nose and throat specialist. Then once you get to those specialists, they run every test under the sun, not because it may tell them something, but to protect themselves in case something goes wrong and you sue them. This all cost us a lot of money.
What we need in our country is a loser pays all law. Sue anybody you want, but if you lose, you have to pay all the costs associated with the person or entity you tried to sue.
