FOOTE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ALLEGIANCE HEALTH v JOHN DOE INSURANCE COMPANY (2017)

I respectfully concur with the majority's conclusion that Covenant Med Ctr, Inc v State Farm Mut Ins Co, ___ Mich ___; 895 NW2d 490 (2017), applies retroactively and that plaintiff must be afforded an opportunity to amend its pleadings. I am merely unpersuaded that there is any sufficient reason present in this matter for departing from the general rule that decisions from our Supreme Court should be given retroactive effect by default.
