Well, tort reform won't happen without universal coverage. If we had universal coverage, then the pressure to allow rewards to cover lifetime care would decrease. I heard this argument today and it just doesn't follow. The problem isn't about lifetime care. It is about compensating people unreasonable amounts for various other categories of damages. The problem is insane settlements because malpractice insurance companies fear much larger awards. >> Universal care is the best solution. Yes, if you are a liberal, it is. Unfortunately, nobody has been able to present a workable plan that is affordable for the nation. If someone can show me how we can have universal care without it, in way, interfering with my ability to have whatever insurance I want to have, and without it costing more in taxpayer dollars, I'd support it. They fooled us once with Medicare. We won't get fooled again ;)
