Welcome to the Sue Me state.
Finally, bipartisanship. Why am I not celebrating?
I have long been ambivalent about lawsuits. Except when I have been an unsuspecting plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit, I have never sued anybody, and when I have been sued, I have consoled myself with the thought that I’d rather be sued than shot. It’s more civilized.
Generally, though, I think we are an overly litigious society. These days, I’m carrying water for nursing homes. I agree with the Republicans that nursing homes should be given some protection from coronavirus-related lawsuits. The big problem has been with the low-cost nursing homes, the ones that provide minimal services and pay low wages.
