Health care is expensive because health care IS expensive. What bothers me is that the discussion seems to be much more about who pays and not why it's so expensive. Tort reform and government deregulation could, by some optomistic estimates, reduce the cost of health care by 50 percent, but the dems don't want tort reform, Obama said so in a couple of his speeches Nor do the dems want deregulation, they want more regulation, much more. Research is necessarily massively expensive. Research is necessary for good health care. Government regulation and massive lawyers fees and lawsuit payouts are not necessary. Scott Where have you been? Just last week in his televised speech (I think it was last week - could have been the week before) The Prez said he WANTED that very reform. On the other hand, how many actual malpractice cases are settled or go to court and result in awards every year? Do you honestly believe that the cost of such cases is enough to drive health care through the roof for a nation of 300,000,000 citizens? If there are THAT many malpractice suits, then the problem is not the law, is is the incompetence of physicians in performing their work. Jerry aka LGO
