What surprises me is how conservatives don’t mention one of the worst problems ailing our health care system, which is overlawyering. Our health care costs would be MUCH lower if we had serious tort reform, disallowing hyper-rewarding of people who were the victims of medical mistakes.
We could probably cut our costs in half, or more, if we could get those lawsuits under control.
And medical malpractice lawyers should actually get behind tort reform, as well. After all, once the government takes over health care, no one will really be able to sue the All-Powerful State for malpractice. They’ll be out of a job.
