An analysis by the Congressional Budget Office said the malpractice bill would benefit physicians and the government but would reduce private health insurance premiums a scant 0.4 percent.

So Laz, when the health insurance premium drops 0.4 percent, how much will that $75 doctor's visit drop? That comes to 3 cents. I can just see the next doctor's bill:

Consultation: $74.97

The doctors will be coming back to their practices in droves...droves.....

Most of this 'crisis' is also FROM PEOPLE NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY FOR MEDICAL SERVICES....why?????
THEY HAVE NO INSURANCE.....
don't blame lawyers for it...blame BUSH allowing 45 MILLION PEOPLE TO BE WITHOUT THE MOST BASIC CARE....
no wonder docs are under the financial gun...JUST LIKE HOSPITALS
Until EVERYONE has SOME coverage this problem will continue
