I have wondered about this since the "Health Care Reform" topic came up. I believe the ultimate goal is Single-Payer / Socialized medicine. As soon as the Doctors work for Government, the Government is to cut-off the evil malpractice insurers. In order to do so, they are going to either mitigate or eliminate the ability to sue.

I assume the administration knows this, and this is part of the "master plan" of savings. I think this is also where they are seeing most of the savings that the CBO has not recognized in the cost estimates. The problem for the administration is they can't go public with the savings from the elimination of the MP Torts. So where do the Trial Lawyers stand on this, and what back-room deal is being worked out. Hum...

In Britain’s lovely NHS you can sue... judgments are paid from the treasury i.e. taxpayer.
