Thats what I have been asking ever since this issue first came up. The bill is attempting to address the symptoms of high health care costs, not the cause. Correct the cause, the symptoms will subside. I personally beleive that if you change what people can sue for (just because an operation didn;t sure out how you wanted is NOT grounds to sue the doc or the hospital), that is a big step in lowering health care costs overall.
In peeling back the high premium onion layers, what is revealed at the core is NOT litigation gone wild, but rather (actuarially) greedy profiteering and egos gone wild…
What about tort reform?
