TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – State Sen. Jeff Brandes said he was just joking when he said he was a “Christian, not an attorney,” but at least three senators have described Brandes’ remarks as offensive.
Brandes made the comment on two separate occasions, each time to a Jewish senator who asked questions about his bill (SB 74) to limit coronavirus-related lawsuits against nursing homes, hospitals and other health-care providers.
The remarks injected another element into an already-thorny debate about limiting lawsuits against long-term care facilities, where at least 10,792 residents and staff members have died of COVID-19. The nuances of what immunity should look like and whether it should apply to all facilities is the subject of fierce legislative fight.
