Yes, Hollywood, when the primary defense a doctor has is "I ran a test and it said this" a primary motive is defense against lawsuits... Relaying on test 3-4 months or older is no defense when the standard is "the best practice possible as defined by the most modern hospitals"... Go ask some of your doctor friends... Greed is however a motive by all actors in this debate, regulators, insurance companies, doctors, lawyers, patients, politicians, hospitals, HMOs, nursing homes, the AMA nurses, ... Why is it the discussion on greed is limited to insurance companies and doctors???
The point is there can by no cost containing long term health care reform without tort reform.... Why??? Lawsuits are a principal driver in raising health care costs... Why are the Democrats refusing to confront one of their biggest donors IF they are taking a principled rather than political stance???
