There is a solution, but conservatives won't like it much: have the insurance company share the liability. If the insurance company refuses to cover a procedure, then that fact should be part of any litigation.

Part of the pharmaceutical promotion to medicine is because of the "sharing the blame" from doctors just to keep their financial heads above water IMO.

Freedom from Tort would be seen as a major step in improving health care.

Obamacare desires to do away with the single practice doctor and merge them into AGO’s eventually becoming direct government employees with union benefits etc. Right now the doc pays rent, a nurse salary, health benefits and a front office person to keep his schedule. If he is a GP he gets $24 per visit. MediCal pays $18. He has to see an awful lot of people to keep his doors open. Surprise. He is a business! Now if we want our doctors to be union employees who can go on strike...
