Bob; <<<Health care reform without Tort reform is a clear example of utter corruption of the Democratic party and Barack Obama.>>>> Ya, needs some reform - but to paint this as the evil is just bunk. What do you want to replace tort reform with? Want to replace it with government oversight?

"I would like to see a comparative case study of say a heart attack and a bypass operation in say Germany and the US." Any such study would have to take into account the difference in currencies.

I think we have to find a way to take the "Fault' out of malpractice and make it like a workers compensation system. With Worker's Comp if you get injured on the job you get paid so much per injury per body part. We could do the same if one was injured in a hospital. This would eliminate a lot of defensive medicine and keep insurance premiums stable.
