The unspoken cost in the health insurance discussion is a subject the present Administration intentionally overlooks because about 90% of the political contributions the national political party behind it gets, comes from lawyers.
I am talking about the cost of malpractice insurance and the need for tort reform to reduce that cost.
In the proposed health Insurance House legislation which is very heavily weighted towards reducing doctor’s income, as a means of saving money, the MDs can still be sued for malpractice. It is almost as if the government is waging war on the main players in the health care picture.
Without health care providers, there is no health care. Forcing providers to retire or not to enter practice is ridiculous. On the other hand, doctor and provider errors can and should still be taken in account.
Compensation can be handled with tort reform, including expert independent arbitration facilities.
