Malpractice insurance is not mentioned in the bill.That's usually the type of response I get around here nowadays,
when I've won the argument.
I'm sure it comforts you to pretend that.
However, back in reality:
Yet the training is to be provided by the Board of Registered Nursing, not by physicians, and the protocols for defining "supervision" have not been specified. There is nothing in the legislation requiring a physician to be present or on-site during an abortion.Yet more badly-written liberal legislation.
Here's the thing Dave; if this makes abortions much more dangerous in California, don't you think that the malpractice insurance rates for these will go through the roof? If they do, then it won't pay to allow non-doctors to perform the abortions in the first place. Of course, insurance underwriters have most likely already determined that there is no greater risk, and therefore rates will remain as is making this a feasible and "safe" option. Insurance underwriters have no skin in the game other than money, so I would tend to believe them over anyone else. You should too.

Further, AB 154 does not require the non-physician abortionists to carry special malpractice insurance.
That's true. You can read the text of the law here: Bill Text - AB-154 Abortion.
No mention of insurance.
So insurance underwriters have no skin in the game at all.
