Tons of money from medical and insurance interests started pouring into Missouri Governor Matt Blunt's campaign coffers after he signed legislation that curbed medical malpractice lawsuits. The Kansas City Star's story on the contributions can be found at:

When Gov Blunt was at Freeman hoapital to sign a copy of the bill he answered directly to a question I posed to him. Asking about medmal premiums falling Gov Blunt said that " Medical Malpractice rates would fall as a direct result of this legislation" I understand this legislation kicks in on August 28, 05. I plan on checking with doctors after this date to see if I can document falling medmal rates.
