Florida Lawmakers Revisit 'Free Kill' Law Repeal

Florida lawmakers are pushing to roll back the state's "Free Kill" law, a decades-old statute that critics say blocks justice for families whose loved ones die due to medical negligence.

The current law bars non-economic damage claims, such as pain and suffering.
