High Insurance Premiums.

No. Many states have implemented tort reform. California has had it for over 10 years. There are no big malpractice awards, yet no one has ever had their insurance rates go down, and malpractice insurance costs just as much there as anywhere else..

I guess they somehow think that taking away our right to sue for damage caused by incompetence or negligence is a good thing. Funny how Republicans are OK with taking away rights when it suits their agenda, and their followers are with them. Don’t they realize that someday they may be in the position of being crippled for life my a bad doctor?

If you value your rights, don’t take rights away from others.

    Well, they increase the doctors’ cost of doing business, and insurance premiums are a function of what ultimately has to be paid out. So the answer is obviously yes.

    No but when 40% of a Doctors operating costs goes to Medical Malpractice insurance I think anyone would half a brain would agree its a contributing factor.

    This is a major reason, but not the only one. Only someone with a narrow uninformed view would point to a single issue as being the entire cause.

    The republicans HAVE come up with answers, like, last March, a year ago, but they couldn’t get the proposals even heard in committee. Look to John Boener’s web site for details.

    Yes, the lawsuit lottery is destroying our health care system. Nobody believes that gross negligence should go unpunished. But it becomes ridiculous when Society becomes frozen in fear from the possibility of a lawsuit.

    Greed is the reason.
