In recent years, politicians in the country have repeatedly proven willing to place political expediency and corporate interests ahead of the rights of the general public. In yet another example of this, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has reportedly introduced a measure as part of his budget proposal which seeks to limit the rights of victims of malpractice, including brain damaged babies, without regard for fairness or the actual facts of the individual cases. Ralph Nader has spoken out against this measure on his website.
