you are not covered by your hospital - and if it came down between you and them guess who they protect?

I was told by my supervisor that I didn't need any. Even as a newbie I looked at her and said I do not believe for one second that this hospital has my back....

i have heard both sides of this debate. I do not carry my own insurance. My belief is that the lawyer will look for the deepest pockets, the hospital, doctor,ect. I have been told by someone in the legal profession that the lawyer will find out who has and single them out. And, they can't get blood out of a turnip, i owe on everything that i have, so i would gladly fork over my house payment, car payment, credit card payment, ect.
