I think there's both a pro & con to this. The pro is that it places more
value on a pet as a family member. However the con is that precedent is now
set for high-dollar lawsuits across the country. Guess what happens when
doctors & vets get sued? Insurance premiums go up (and generally they go up
*alot*) and the increased cost gets passed to the consumer. The more vets
who are sued, the higher the cost of the insurance. This equates to even
higher costs for vet care.

And, eventually, to scarcity of service. Just *try* to find
an obstetrician in many rural or smaller-urban communities.
