OT >>I am certainly no fan of the out of control litigation mess and have myself been a victim of this system. As my torts professor said, "Without the threat of malpractice suits, doctors have a license to kill". >>But with the Republican backed conversion of our health care to the avaricious and near criminal abuses of managed care That was Hillary's plan. If you want socialized medicine, so be it, but let's hope the government caps what avaricious doctors can steal. Seems many doctors have shown via Medicare what they can do in that regard. >>the threat of legal of action is now the ONLY thing (other that personal consciences of health care professionals) That's why we need more, not less, malpractice suits. And maybe I should agree with Hillary that the government should not subsidize or allow the greedy doctors to pass on the costs of their incompetence to patients- so malpractice insurance should be made non-deductible. You have convinced me that greedy, unethical doctors need to be reined in and that only the government can do so.
