Dennis Quaid Testifies Before Congress
I’d previously written of how Dennis Quaid’s newborn twins were victimized by malpractice when they received a massive overdose of heparin.
And I’d also written how he sued Baxter Healthcare over the mix up.
Today he testified before Congress. This is the most important quote:
“Like many Americans, I believed that a big problem in our country was frivolous lawsuits. But now I know that the courts are often the only path to justice.”
Those who advocate tort “reform” generally have this in common: They’ve not been seriously hurt by someone else’s negligence and never imagine it can happen to them.
