Michael Jackson and Healthcare Reform, Continued.

We often complain about the swamp, but never bother to drain it.

Members of the Legal Profession have been chatting energetically about the "Mother of All Suits" regarding Jackson's death.

The comment which tugged at MY heartstrings was:

From the point of a medical malpractice suit, does it even matter? Jackson was allegedly in debt to the tune of over $300 million, though I suspect a forensic accounting may take some time.

If we were all insured by Kindly Uncle Sam, then he could pony up for the loss.

Moral of the Story:

fault (n)

1. (common) Who caused the bad thing to happen? (obsolete)
2. (legal) Whose ass can you sue for it?

e.g. Whose fault was it that I got in an accident when drunk? It's the Highway Department's fault.
