You can't provide low-cost health care or low-cost medical insurance for a system run by millionaire doctors and six-figure hospital administrators, and that has 1,200 percent profit margins for drugs and medical devices. The health-industry attitude is, we'll profiteer like crazy, and you people find a way to pay us. The problem is not doctors, it's lawyers.
I've never found a dirty store, a rude employee or a defective product in a Wal-Mart store.
I'm no Wal-mart basher, but this person is living in fantasy-land.

Sometimes. A lot of the problem is that certain doctors have crazy amounts of true malpractice claims and those individuals drive up malpractice insurance for everyone else. Lawyers have hurt a lot, but, I firmly believe that if lawyers would not have sued constantly the quality of medical care would be a lot lower. It is more complex than just being the lawyers fault.
Malpractice reform is just another way to screw with the free market.
