You are quite right. Obama’s personal physican of 22 years a Dr. Steiner appeared on TV a couple of days ago and said that fear of lawsuits was the biggest reason health care costs are so much higher in the U.S. than other countries. I wouldn’t expect the Demos to do much about it though. Next to Wall Street the Trial Lawyers give the Demos the most money. There will be no tort reform in the health care bill. I think the ultimate solution to high costs is the same as for clothing, autos, etc. i.e. foreign competition. Some insurers are already offering lower cost policies if you agree to have major surgery overseas. It’s safer too.
