We'd undoubtedly save more money that way. Medical costs would go down as well, since there would be no need for malpractice insurance. And businesses would probably even put up with the increased tax burden, since it would reduce their legal expenses.

Anyone ever heard of such a thing? Car was sold and serviced through Heishman BMW in Arlington VA for its entire life and NoVa isn't known as the rust belt . . . .
