>>Just requiring the cases to be reviewed by a judge would probably eliminate more than 95% of the cases in the US, IMO.<<

That's my point. Part of the reason there are not huge physician shortages in some of the universally covered systems is that the practice environment is *somewhat* less onerous. Less paperwork hassles, time wasted on phone calls to MCO's. Not the poisonous, adversarial environment that the US malpractice system in the US often fosters, pitting physicians against their own patients. Much less waste from excessive testing for CYA purposes. Yes, income is important, but so is the environment one works in. Job satisfaction rates of physicians in Germany, Switzerland or France compare favorably to their American counterparts.

The other great thing about England's system is not every doctor feels like he is entitled to earn $350,000 a year just because he has a license to practice medicine.
