Get rid of the lawyers and health care is cheap. Sorry, but you or your precious snowflake might not be worth $4.6 million if a doctor tries to treat you and the outcome isn’t perfect. My toddler and I once got the squirts in a third world country and went to the clinic. We got checked over and he got several extra tests because he was so young. We walked out with a sackful of meds and the total bill was $11. Suing over everything wasn’t known there and health care was affordable. The biggest expense most doctors have here is malpractice insurance.
About half the states in the country have already enacted tort reform that caps malpractice awards. And while there is some evidence that the reforms have reduced medical malpractice insurance premiums there is no evidence that it has reduced health care premiums.
The biggest expense many doctors have is non-paying patients.
The author of this article completely ignores the millions of illegals and gimmedats who pay nothing for their care. Some physicians have to write off more than 50% of the care they provide. It is so bad that our locals hospitals require not just a picture ID but a palm scan.
The illegals even fly in their relatives if they get sick. They pick them up at the airport and take them directly to the ER. Their brain surgery or dialysis is then paid for by you and me.
