Bush is starting the legal issues with malpractice reform- I actually don't agree that this is the major issue with the medical profession but it is certainly a good idea and it looks like major tort reform is on its way

The president argued that "frivolous and junk lawsuits" are the primary cause of health care costs rising faster than in a decade and doctor shortages that leave patients without care.

"The problem of those unnecessary costs isn't in the waiting room, or the operating room -- they're in the courtroom," Bush said in a speech at the University of Scranton in northeastern Pennsylvania. "Everybody's suing, it seems like."

Capping jury awards in medical malpractice suits is the answer, the president said. "We need reform all across America and we need a law coming out of the United States Congress," Bush said.
