I don't reemeber him saying he "wanted" it, I beloved he said he
would, " look into it". At the AMA speech in Chicago he said he was
against it. And fact is, he is a lawyer and he had some rediculous
amount of campaign money come from trial lawyers. He does not want
tort reform. Furthermore, most lawsuits today are not true
"malpractice" lawsuits where a doc cut off the wrong leg. People today
expect their body to go back to perfect after surgery. While we are
getting closer, nothing gets back to how god created it. There are
limitations and most lawsuits come from these limitations.

Health care is expensive because health care IS expensive. What
bothers me is that the discussion seems to be much more about who
pays and not why it's so expensive. Tort reform and government
deregulation could, by some optomistic estimates, reduce the cost of
health care by 50 percent, but the dems don't want tort reform,
Obama said so in a couple of his speeches Nor do the dems want
deregulation, they want more regulation, much more.
Research is necessarily massively expensive. Research is necessary
for good health care. Government regulation and massive lawyers fees
and lawsuit payouts are not necessary.

Where have you been? Just last week in his televised speech (I
think it was last week - could have been the week before) The Prez
said he WANTED that very reform. On the other hand, how many actual
malpractice cases are settled or go to court and result in awards
every year? Do you honestly believe that the cost of such cases is
enough to drive health care through the roof for a nation of
300,000,000 citizens?
If there are THAT many malpractice suits, then the problem is not
the law, is is the incompetence of physicians in performing their
work.
