What percentage of that $900/month bill do you think is going towards liability insurance? Suppressing and individual's right to get redress for a tort in a court of law for the sake of the common good sounds like collectivism and socialism to me.
"Suppressing and individual's right to get redress for a tort in a court of law for the sake of the common good sounds like collectivism and socialism to me." You're right, it is. Tort reform does not mean suppressing the 'individual's right', it means making 'common sense' a part of the equation.
From the family doctors I know, who were basically forced into the 'umbrella' of managed care, fear of the 'frivolous' suit and the costs of defending or insuring against one ended their ability to provide cost efficient care.
