John Ensign: “First of all, physicians I have spoken to do not think the bill the Senator is talking about adequately covers them.…”

On the recordJune 28, 2001
First of all, physicians I have spoken to do not think the bill the Senator is talking about adequately covers them. That is why they still have to carry medical malpractice insurance, similar to what Senator Frist has to carry. My amendment would help lower the cost of this type of coverage, so we think this bill is necessary. I don't understand--if this is already covered in law, why would it be a problem to include it to make sure we are saying to the courts that we absolutely want to cover people who are providing pro bono services to the needy.
