Statute abandoning collateral source rule for medical malpractice liability does not violate equal protection clause; application to action pending on effective date of act. Crowe v. Wigglesworth, 623 F. Supp. 699, 700, 704, 705 (1985). 2. Statute rationally related to legitimate state purpose and does not violate state and federal constitutions. Ferguson v. Garmon, 643 F.

Engelken, 241 Kan. 663, 665, 678, 740 P.2d 1058 (1987). 4. Cited by dissent where majority denied tort action for retaliatory discharge to worker protected by collective bargaining agreement. Armstrong v. Goldblatt Tool Co., 242 Kan. 164, 177, 747 P.2d 119 (1987). 5.
