John, your question about medical malpractice lawsuits against the US federal government is a good one, and deserves a good answer. The answer is that the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) allows medical malpractice claims against government health care providers and facilities. Active duty military cannot bring a FTCA claim due to what is called the Feres doctrine. This is an over-simplification, there are many exceptions, pitfalls, and loopholes, which is why people hire trial lawyers. We know how to navigate the complications, which is why we get paid the big bucks. biotech.law.lsu.edu military-medical-malpractice.com If it was easy, anybody could do it.
