Comments
Why is it okay to allow the victim, the injured party, to take the financial hit?
This just continues the mandate that corporations aren't responsible to anyone for anything except making profits for their stockholders.
Bad bill....leave this to the courts and stop taking so much corporate lobbyist's money....
