B-B-b-but passing a law like this would put people like John Edwards out of business. Oh, wait,... he has another job now (and will get to vote to kill this one!).

One of the problems that will need to be corrected is the fact that malpractice lawsuits are the only real check on incompetent doctors.

I have this to say: it is the very concern about the possibility of litigation that has sent the price of perscription medicine through the roof here in the USA. Now you know why Claritin and Allegra--both allergy medicines that actually have less side effects than over-the-counter antihistimine cold/allergy medicines--are still sold only on a perscription basis here in the USA, while both drugs mentioned are sold over the counter in Canada and parts of Europe.
