and i dont want to hear about health savings plans. the working poor dont have enought money to save for normal things
It might not fix it totally, but it would be a big help. A doctor friend of mine pays more in malpractice insurance than I make in a year (and I earn a pretty good living). He stopped delivering babies for that very reason.

Nothing will fix the health care problem. It’s extremely expensive to take care of a population. The only options are everyone gets crappy health care, or only the people who can afford it get good health care.References :
Tort reform will put money in the hands of the working poor by lowering the cost of doing business due to frivolous lawsuits filed by John Edwards- type lawyers.References :
It would be a great start. You go in for strep throat the doctor used to give you an antibiotic scrip and send you out the door. No longer. You have to go to a specialist, get poked, prodded, tested, x-rayed, MRI’ed, any every other concievable thing, because if you have throat cancer or something and he missed it, you will end up hiring a lawyer and the poor doctor ends up unemployable for life , divorced, and living in a $50 a week boarding house downtown.References :
As I understand it, about 1% of health care cost is a result of legal liability.References :
No… and to bad about the health savings plans. (they would work)… and way to bad about the poor…. that’s what charity is (or was) for… A 401K type health savings account and a catastrophic health insurance coverage would work just fine for most people… the very poor are already covered by medicaid (that works really well… not!) It’s just that Democrats don’t want the possibility of people controlling their own money… the Dems surely know how to better spend it than the people do… yea right.References :
