Frederic Levin (mentioned above) is the guy who, for about $150,000 in campaign contributions, got the Florida legislature to sneak through a bill saying that contributory/comparative negligence is not a defense to Medicaid recovery. That legal change put Florida into the great Tobacco ripoff and yielded millions to Frederic G. Levin. The University of Florida College Of Law is now named after him.

Make your own judgments folks.

I didn’t really care about the issue all that much but I’m kind of ticked off that my dues are being used to push a political issue.
