It’s not too late for a change in the existing health coverage law.
We have special courts for bankruptcies. Judges handle creditor and debtor claims, tax liens, workers compensation, etc.
One of the complications that requires change, and proves costly with health care, is malpractice cost. The problem is attributed primarily to the outrageous amounts of lawsuits against providers. And the fraud that permeates the system.
The result: The high outlays due to defensive medicine and doctor malpractice insurance premiums.
The practical solution: Arbitration courts made up of judges who are trained in science and medicine. That would eliminate awards because of “junk science.”
The courts would also eliminate attorney’s cuts of the award proceeds and put a cap on out-sized sums that ordinarily come from ignorant jurists. While seeing that patients are compensated for actual malpractice. The courts would be financed from doctor insurance premiums.
