this pro bono amendment will benefit doctors across the country. A prime example is my neighbor, Dr. Dan McBride. Dr. McBride has provided medical care to individuals and families free-of-charge for years. He understands that not all Nevadans can afford health care insurance each month, and that many cannot even afford to go to the doctor once each year; but that does not mean that they are not deserving of proper health care. This amendment will ensure that doctors such as Dan McBride can continue providing free health care to the less fortunate without fear of lawsuits.
