By the way, my Mom had to make visit to the dentist yesterday and to the dental surgeon today. She said that a nurse there told her that the doctor’s rates are going up because there has been an absolute explosion of medical litigation over the past few months, lawsuits being filed for the least little thing.

I wonder if this is the result of “typical” rent-seeking behavior from lawyers and their clients as their normal sources of income dry up or a deliberate effort to help out their Big Lawyer Pal by driving medical costs up to usher in Obamacare?
