I understand the rising cost of medical and litigation insurance has made the running of hospitals, nursing homes and doctors offices very expensive.

I have (had) a customer, an OB/GYN, whose medical malpractice insurance premium went from $30K/year to $320K/year from '01-02 to '02-03. He literally went out of business.

The trial lawyers have to be brought under control before ANYTHING can be done about healthcare. It is essential to put limits on these ridiculous settlements. Hopefully, Bush will get this done while the Dems don't have a stranglehold on congress...
