The federal government shouldn’t be involved in healthcare, since that would violate the 10th Amendment. Each state legislature should pass a law that would limit the amount that a person may sue, in malpractice lawsuits. If that happens, health insurance premiums, for patients, would decrease, and malpractice insurance premiums, for doctors, would decrease.
Just so, and would I be presumptious in assuming that to include Medicare?

All of which I agree with. The individual states could do cradle to grave if they choose to, and some have essentially done that. It hasn't worked out so well from most accounts. Of course the lawyers are not going to do anything that would cut into their take. The situation I noted from reading another article on the subject is that there is something here called the American Law(?) that allows ANYONE to bring suit against anybody for just about anything. And the defendants always must pay for their own defense regardless of the merits OR the outcome of the suit. Even THAT wouldn't be nearly the problem it is were it not for the poor's ability to access free legal services from a plethora of sources.
