The political bias in health insurance is highly evident and the Obama administration is guilty of it. Which explains why tort reform has never been fully a part of the administration’s proposals.
What could save enormous costs but is hardly ever mentioned is tort reform. Even though the government will tell the doctor how to practice, he or she could still be sued for malpractice. All that would be needed is a cap on lawsuits, something the lawyers are successfully lobbying against.
At least 25% of medical costs alone are for defensive medicine. Impartial arbitration panels should determine whether patients have been truly harmed and how, and for how much they ought to be compensated.
