What if a doctor accidentally cuts off my arm? Seriously? That's going to be your argument? Give me a break. Most malpractice suits are about mistakes. A sutcher is left in place, a vein is nicked, or some gauze is left in the body. Most of those cases can be resolved 100%. In the rare cases that's not true, other arrangements can be made. If, for some ludicrous reason, someone were to cut off your leg (wtf?), then that person shouldn't be practicing medicine. He should be a butcher or something.
Really, though, I was expecting a better argument than that. Jeez.
My statement isn't to evoke hyperbole but to state, malpractice happens, people don't do 100% great jobs all the time. Mistakes happen. You're for fix it right up and send them on their way.

Lol... so when was the last time you ate a can of tuna and died from mercury poisoning? Or is death an advantage? More hyperbole, exaggeration, and appeals to ignorance.
Really? Then why the warnings about pregnant women not eating fish??? Becuase there is some risk there... Again, I'm comfortable with some regulations that govern how the business is allowed to run, that's not being ignorant and exaggeration. It's simple facts. Cal OSHA makes sure you have a safe plae to work right?

Only a freshman economy student thinks that competition is always necessary. And only someone who's too stubborn to admit he or she is wrong would stick to an argument like "freedom is always 100% right". Freedom is not only subjective, but it's relative. There's no freedom for me to have 100% free healthcare. There's no freedom for people who are broke to get any health care. What about their freedom?
Really? Then we shouldn't have deregulated airlines, utilities, charter school systems because the government should know better and performs better.

The government is not a corporate entity, and it's not profit driven.
I think you don't realize that most cities and counties are incorporated. They are corporate entities, they may not be profit driven, but they are still corporate entitities.

Its population reached 3,000 by 1850, the year the city was incorporated. San Jose served as the state’s first capital from 1849 to 1851,
