The neglected cost in the health insurance discussion is a subject the Obama administration intentionally glosses over because about 90% of lawyer political contributions go to the Democrat party.
Yet, the cost of malpractice insurance and the need for tort reform to reduce that cost, represents a major area for health insurance reform. It has not been directly addressed by the Obama administration.
In the proposed health Insurance legislation, heavily weighted towards reducing doctor’s income, as a means of saving money, the MDs can still be sued for malpractice. It is as if the government is waging war on the main players in the health field.
Without health care providers, there is no health care. Forcing providers to retire or not to enter practice is ridiculous.
Doctor and provider errors can and should still be taken in account. Compensation can be handled with tort reform, including expert independent arbitration.
