question would be did the care provided to the individual that was hurt - was it a charitable act? was there any profit gained by that action? as i read the article, malpractice should be approved. it's been written that they are going after litigants whom failed to make a payment. so then it becomes a non-charitable action. now, if was like operation smile - this is definately a non-profit operation, this would definately be a proper organization that would be one i would think is exempt.
