Three biggest problems with “cost of healthcare”
1. Government Meddling
2. Plaintiff Attorneys
3. Illegal Aliens

#2 I’m sorry I made a mistake would have gone a long way to eliminating lawsuits or adjusting costs due to their errors. We did not used to be a society of litigation. We became so because of past medical professionals (and some even today) put themselves at the God level. Litigation became prevelant I believe because of the lies, corruption and cover-ups. I don’t see a way back to honesty and I can’t believe most people want to go back to the philosophy that Dr’s are God and give up their right for redress.

So, if doctors in the past had just apologized for mistakes (real or imagined) then we wouldn't be in this litigation mess?

Huge jury awards have nothing to do with it?
Stupid jurors and judges have nothing to do with it?
Greedy lawyers have nothing to do with it?
A population that believes that lawsuit = lottery has nothing to do with it?
A society that no longer believes in personal responsibility has nothing to do with it?

If what you wrote was true then other areas of society (restaurants, small business, corporations, snowy sidewalks country wide) would not be in the same litigation quagmire (and stupid warning labels would not be around to amuse us).
