| #9 The Mayo Clinic claims to be top tier medical care. But yes, COVID really clarified things that had previously been hidden. I was doubtful about RFK, Jr. taking on health care, but he seems to be proving clarifying, too. |

| #8 The Minnesota Mayo should be on the list. Dealing with that POS cover up hole for decades. We last lost our aunt and the Mayo claimed it was a heart issue. She had just had the premium physical 5 months prior. Then there is the matter of Mayo destroying actual MDs careers that called out the covid BS. |

| #7 OBTW: I looked it up According to a comprehensive study conducted by the American Medical Association (AMA), only about 1,000 doctors lose their medical licenses annually in the United States. Given there are about 1,044,734 licensed physicians in the United States and District of Columbia. (2022 US Census count) That works out to 0.095718% of the 1+ Million are the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA due to their mistakes. Wouldn't that make the 0.095718% far deadlier than many dictators? |

| #4 This is why it is called "Practicing Medicine". I would like to see data on the number that lost their medical practice license also. |

| #3 Specifically, New York — which has the most practicing doctors and healthcare workers, at 35,000 — is also one of 21 states that does not cap the level of payment for medical malpractice claims Surprise, surprise, surprise. Its a curse on both houses, lawyers and doctors. The medical establishment is basically absent in policing its own ranks. Professional courtesy? That leaves the lawyers to feast as the remaining means of redress. |

| #2 Easier to sue, ed, fewer limits on insurance payouts, more willing to take on complex cases. Possibly more errors as well — the article didn’t say in the section I read. |

| #1 Is it because they have more medical errors, or is it because it's easier to sue there? |
