Very true.
We need a three pronged approach to fixing the system: insurance companies, doctors and tort reform. I can't name one thing that the government does efficiently and without many layers of bureaucracy, so I certainly don't want them fully in charge of my children's health!

I forgot about tort reform. That's a biggie, I am sure. When every single person who works in an industry lives with the daily threat that some judge or jury could on a whim decide they owe someone millions of dollars, and continually has to pay huge insurance bills to guard against this, that's another factor that leaves precious little room for a truly free market to function.
