Re: Here we go again

And how are you going to make a penalty big enough to make big medical companies actually pay attention without the risk of collateral damage? And since the medical profession is about saving lives, that collateral damage can turn deadly.

The way I see it, it's a no-win position. If it's not strong enough, they'll just pay the penalty and carry on. If it IS, then the moment that penalty is applied, things are going to get ugly.
