Trent Lott: “We used to have several, then we had three, now we have one insurance company that is providing medical liability…”

“We used to have several, then we had three, now we have one insurance company that is providing medical liability insurance in my State of Mississippi. This is a problem that is of great concern to leaders in the State of both parties, in the medical profession, in the business world, and those of us who are trying desperately to advance the State economically and have had some success bringing major industries into the State. While a major industry may want to know, do you have a good interstate system, do you have international airports, good schools, can you provide affordable housing, they don't always immediately ask about the accessibility of hospitals and do you have the doctors who are needed, but that is a question that eventually they come to. It is one that will affect us in the future if we don't do something about it. Let me tell you what it means when you don't have the doctors you need. I want to give some specific examples.”
