Rick Sanctimonious: Like DeLay, Malpractice Suits Are Good for Him, Bad for You!
Not exactly new news but hypocrisy is hypocrisy.
Tom DeLay did the same when his assinine father used a device incorrectly and then Tommy "Bug Boy" sued and won.
Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., says that the No. 1 health care crisis in his state is medical lawsuit abuse and in the past he's called for a $250,000 cap on non-economic damage awards or awards for pain and suffering. "We need to do something now to fix the medical liability problem in this country," he declared at a rally in Washington D.C., this past spring.
But Santorum's wife sued a doctor for $500,000 in 1999. She claimed that a botched spinal manipulation by her chiropractor led to back surgery, pain and suffering, and sued for twice the amount of a cap Santorum has supported.
