Come Back Doctors, the State will once again help you pay for Your Medical Errors!

Free market my ***. It’s tiring to continue to play this foolish game of lies with Republican ideologues. 

Walker made the $233.7 million payment (money illegally transferred out by Gov. Doyle), and that includes interest.

There is nothing free market about the state collecting doctor fees to pay for expensive malpractice damages, so those same physicians get a price break from insurers. That’s picking winners and losers isn't it? It also allows the insurance industry to continue to gouge doctors instead of everyone dealing with the problem of patient injury or deaths.

But the bigger line of pure BS flows like a broken sewer pipe:

WRN: The Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund is “delightfully secure again,” so says Wisconsin Medical Society Senior Vice President Tim Bartholow, MD. 

But it was the “UNCERTAINTY” that caused what...? An unprovable lie about scaring doctors away?

Bartholow says the uncertainty of the fund had an indirect effect on doctors’ confidence and likelihood of practicing medicine in our state. “There are physicians I know that made decisions to not come to this state. It was harder for us to recruit … because there was this contention over the fund.”

Talk about the far right wing beating a meaningless talking point to death; the "uncertainty" factor. Enough already. Hey Bartholow, take your problem up with malpractice insurers….
