This medical liability problem doesn't just affect doctors. We specialize in insurance for non-profit nursing, retirement homes, and home & community-based services. Their premiums have gone out of sight even with no claims, (some have experienced 300% in 4 years!!!)Plaintiff attorneys are being trained on how to take them to the cleaners. Yes, some organizations have not/do not offer quality care but 99% of them are and they are trying to serve the frail elderly and low-income elderly. Turns out that we as society, our parents and family members, and our future retirement is suffering while attorneys get rich off of lawsuits on the backs of organizations that are trying to help the poor and frail. We are all aging and at the rate the premiums are going, there will not be many choices for the elderly frail, sick, and/or low-income. Bush-Cheney is our best hope!!
