It sounds good, but good luck without majot tort reform. IIRC, tort lawyers are one of the largest rat campaign donors.

Medicine's Ethical Responsibility for Health Care Reform — The Top Five List It's a FReebie.

At least Brody has a MD degree, and the next to last paragraph basically says that he does primary care. Don't you just love those who write about reducing the costs of medicine without ever practicing medicine?

Conservatives must now switch to support legal power in health care. The Liberals are going to try and spread their death culture to the very young, handicapped and elderly. We are going to need to sue them to make it risky for doctors to cooperate in the killing machine with them.

The list of unnecessary tests will grow larger as an unelected medical costs board decides to limit reimbursements for certain test to $5 each. I won’t sell a product for less than it costs me to produce...I don’t expect doctors to behave any differently.

Re: Do you need that medical test?

Suddenly, the Hard Left MSM is in love with fewer tests.

This is the third “favorable” MSM review I've seen in one week.

Extreme political caution is advised for Conservatives.

As the true financial cost of ObamaCare becomes reality, serious cutbacks in medical services will be essential.

The MSM is trying to soften the political consequences for the Democratic Party.

And cutbacks on malpractice lawsuits?

That’ll be the day!

Tort lawyers - the guys who advertise on TV - have been near the top of the Democratic Party donor list for the past 20 years!

If health care costs are ever to be brought under control, the nation’s doctors will have to play a leading role in eliminating unnecessary treatments.

If the main goal is to reduce costs, then also eliminate necessary treatments to certain groups of people.The elderly and poor people are two groups that come to mind.
That would save costs two ways.
Besides the immediate savings in denying treatment, it would shorten the lives of some people and save a lot of future expenses.

The elderly vote: so you have to be very careful on how you do this.
Perhaps a slot limit for voters such as you can only vote between the ages of 18 and 70 years of age.
I'm sure Obama and his minions are working on solutions. Nothing final ..yet. -tom
