I would not call it a bias. I simply learned the truth from my legal field career. You are right, hospitals have to carry coverage also.
I suspect other countries lack our constitutional guarantees of access to a court and a jury, and our history of law and customs. Plus, the more developed countries have larger social safety nets. Much of our costs in tort are past and future medical costs. Countries with national health care have passed these costs on to the taxpayer. We think the guilty ought to cover it.

I think it’s time for a cat fight.
