I hope that the new administration includes “loser pays” and other SUBSTANTIAL legal reforms This would help reduce medical costs by removing one of the “defensive medicine” incentives for doctors ordering unnecessary tests.

Perfect! What a great idea! I have been saying for years that we need LEGAL REFORM much more than we need MEDICAL REFORM! Real, substantial legal reform would do more than anything to bring high health care costs down by eliminating frivolous lawsuits and the legions of attorneys it takes to implement all the onerous rules. Let's move forward by eliminating malpractice as it currently exists, and do the private health industry a YUGE favor.
