I want to leave you with this one question (and/or thought): Why should the healthcare industry not be held responsible for its negligent acts? Tort reform proponents believe that it shouldn't be; they want to limit the healthcare industry's liability (even when the negligence is clear). Is that fair? Is it just? Is it right? You decide.
