Legislation Remains in Senate
Republican Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee has vowed to continue pushing federal legislation aimed at limiting medical malpractice pain-and-suffering damages against obstetricians and emergency-room personnel. But, in the third vote in the past year on such a bill, the measure failed to gain the 60 votes needed to overcome the threat of a Democrat-led filibuster. The White House is in favor of the reforms, but Democrats argue that Republicans are merely pandering to their constituents, the medical and insurance lobbies. The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, which opposes the proposed reforms, has made a complaint to the Senate Ethics Committee charging Senator Frist with promoting his and his family's own financial interests. Senator Frist is a heart surgeon, and his family founded the H.C.A. Hospital chain and its malpractice insurer, Health Care Indemnity.
