Monday, May 19, 2003Dr. Robert Cline, president of the Florida Medical Association and a Fort Lauderdale heart surgeon, said legislators were not swayed by doctors' testimonials that they can't afford the increased insurance rates. In Tallahassee, Cline said he heard lawmakers say doctors make lots of money and they should be able to handle the rate hikes. "Legislators are not listening to us any more," Cline said. But, as another doctor points out, without tort reform those high-risk specialists are likely to leave the state: "It's a free country," Himmelstein said. "No one is going to swim in a pool of sharks if they don't have to." posted by Sydney on 5/19/2003 07:49:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
