"I would also add that the trial lawyers also annihilate non-physician providers. The midwife industry is (for example) now extinct in NY City for this reason."

I'm very sorry to hear this, as midwives provide very important services.  I suppose this will continue as long as people remain silent and until enough people die due to overregulation and excessive litigation.  Unfortunately, most political movers and shakers avail themselves of the most deluxe medical services on the planet and so are largely insulated from the realities that most other folks face.  If a few Senators' wives had to wait six hours in an ER waiting room you can rest assured that these problems would be fixed overnight.

Congress gives itself life long triple gold star health insurance, PLUS back up unlimited free care at Bethesda Naval Hospital, Walter Reed Army Hospital and the National Institutes of Health hospitals in suburban D.C.

The hypocrite Canadian politicians have similar special access.
