Rather vague mostly opinion article with language made for weasels. Blurring the line between overall cost and cost per incident is an old tactic. Tort reform would be one of the early and easy to made reforms, but by no means the only one that will be employed by Congress after ObamaKare has been neutered. Wringing fraud waste out of all the Healthcare system would be an early initiative.

If you read the article you would have seen where costs did not go down a bit in Texas which enacted 'real' tort reform years ago.

OK. So you use a Right-Wing site to identify a Left-Wing site. You might want to change directions when you piss into the wind. ;D Can you find something, even on a "wing-nut" site that quantifies the savings that tort reform has contributed in Texas and California? |

It wasn't my purpose to take a position one way or the other on tort reform. It was to point out your enormous hypocrisy. But you knew that. |

The whole medical industry was broken when the govt passed laws in and around 1978 that made it easy to sue your doctor. Before then, we had the best medical industry in the world and it was competitive, quality, and everything you'd want.
Get rid of govt control and you let the Doctors doctor, the teachers teach, the worms worm, and the oilers oil...government should enforce the Sherman Act on the ncaa, bcs, and the SEC. The government should back deposits to banks, only. The government should keep us safe from foreigners, attacking or crossing, and provide fire, police and the interstate highway system. Limited government. Free markets and no osamatax.
Any one want a hug?

Good find. While the cost of malpractice insurance has not risen as fast as that in other states, the implementation of Tort Reform and the 'savings' it has produced has not tricked down to the patient. Maybe this is one of the reasons the insurance companies are recording record profits. |

This is also one of the reasons I am not closed minded about some kind of single payer system. Just have to figure out how to make sure it does not turn into some big waste. Medicare is subjected to massive fraud so that is one thing that would have to be addressed before a plan can become really viable. Good find.

Had to read it a couple of times to figure out that you were not trying to put words in my mouth but just typed your response in the wrong place. ;D There is fraud in every program, even regular insurance. I would like the government to hire many more investigators to combat the Medicare, and Social Security, fraud. Instead, they seem to be laying them off. |

Did you say, "low cal"?
Do you realize, that very few people can tell you what the word, "tort" means?
This is one big word blockage.

Tort laws in 1978 broke the medical industry and all of the bantor, waste of taxpayer dollars and stupid, idiotic discussions since, are all hogwash. You reverse those laws now, and you don't have to do anything but get government OUT of the medical industry which will cure on its own, thank you.
