The problem in America is that the legal system is completely out of control. It is largely lawyers in state, local, and Federal legislatures that write the laws, lawyers that prosecute (or do not) the laws, and lawyers who "interpret" what our natural laws from God are supposed to be (in their eyes).
Literally placing our signature/stamp on decisions that can kill another person if wrong.
Malpractice suits have caused our medical system to be the most expensive in the world, bar none.
I have heard arguments where people have tried to argue this is not the case, and the more you listen to them, the more they sound like a guilty child who broke the lamp, digger themselves deeper into the hole with each excuse.
Moreover, malpractice cases can linger for years - and this also benefits the bottom feeders who make semi-careers out of each and every case.
The lawyers have enriched themselves at the trough, and we wonder why Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance have bankrupted this nation.
