Today’s headline in USA Today concerned a doctor shortage as, for some reason, fewer people are becoming doctors. I didn’t see anything in the story which addressed either the aggravation caused by frivolous lawsuits or the crushing expense of liability insurance.
Nor did the publication remark on any concern potential doctors might have about surrendering professional freedom to political science majors who went into government.
