Tort reform would probably do as much as anything.

This would probably have to be the first step. Adopting arbitration of some sort would create two armies of under- or unemployed lawyers - both litigators AND defenders. As a result, imo, people's minds would clear and they'd be able to begin thinking what else needs to be done.

Economic declines are not fun... but it appears that we may be entering one - and a major one at that. If that happens, the system will probably undergo big changes in the next several years, whether we like it or not... we may find ourselves living in "interesting times". It takes a very wealthy society to come up with 30K annually in health care costs per elderly couple.
