Re “Kaiser Put Kidney Patients at Risk,” May 3

Kudos on a great investigative article on our mediocre healthcare system. Every time I read this kind of article, I’ve got to wonder why no one ever goes to jail, why no one ever loses their medical license and why we have caps on malpractice awards. In fact, the only time I’ve ever heard of any kind of punishment is when a medical professional defrauds the government. Why is that?
