Obama: multiple tests by doctors is "wasting money"

So the answer here, at least in part, is Tort Reform and Loser Pays.

That answer is lost on the RAT lawyers running the show.

They would rather prevent the doctor from doing ANY tests, fly blind, guess at treatment, give the blue pill when he should have given the red pill, then sue his pants off when the patient dies or gets seriously ill as a result.

I hope this idiot fails miserably in his quest for socialist glory.

I got no love for the insurance companies, drug companies or the doctors for that matter, but any plan that does not address tort reform is not a serious health care reform plan IMHO. I don’t know about “Loser Pays” but a cap on damages is very doable.
