What about a significant penalty against the lawyer
that instigated the suit in the first place.

Ever consider
the fact that lack of tort reform has caused the overhead costs of
doctors and hospitals to be exhorbitant ? On top of that, the legal
system has made extortion LEGAL by forcing doctor's to settle claims they are
not really responsible for.
My wife has
been in the business of settling healthcare claims for years.....I know
first-hand what is going on here.
A frat brother
of mine, not the sharpest tool in the shed, is now a millionaire lawyer...all
he does is handle mal-med and those stupid personal injury cases that are so
bogus.

So here's the
correct statement:
"What's obvious
is that the LEGAL system in America, currently controlled by the GOVERNMENT,
has run amuck and has affected the healthcare provider mechanism
PROFOUNDLY"
"The solution
is simple: Tort reform whereby frivolous lawsuits against good doctors result
in a significant penalty for the plaintiff if they are
dismissed"

You might as well get your facts straight. First, the US spends 14% of
GDP on healthcare which is the highest percentage of any country in the
entire world. Second, in spite of spending the world's greatest percentage
of GDP on healthcare, 40% of our citizens have none, zero, zilch health
coverage. Third, 50% of that 14%, or roughly 7% of GDP, is spent on
healthcare administration, almost all of which goes to private insurance
companies and HMO's, not the government. The government run Veterans
Administration medical system is a disgrace to those who served our country.
The government run Medicare system is extremely efficient, consuming roughly
3% of premiums paid.
Those of us who can afford healthcare are well taken care of. The
40% who can't afford healthcare coverage, receive little care, and most
of that is delivered in public hospital emergency rooms at
taxpayer's expense. What's obvious is that the healthcare system,
currently in private hands, has run amuck. I don't know what
the solution is.

it's the governmentt regulations andinvolvement in our
medical system which has created a lot of the problemsvis a via rising
health costs and insurance issues. And this doesn't evenaddress
corruption, fraud, waste, abuse, inefficiencies,and
incompetence.
