Remember, lawyers make more money from the American health-care system
than doctors do. And the gov't wants to keep it that way.

Good line. And it would be truly scary if it were true.


One could quibble over accounting details, but the scary thing is that
lawyers *do* make more money from health care than doctors. For
example, check how many MDs are on insurance company payrolls, and how
many LLDs.

I sympathize with
the thought, however. There are too many law suits, including malpractice
suits.


Definitely.

OTOH there is too much malpractice. The question is, should your
health care risk (which is never zero, regardless of the procedure) be
turned into a lottery?
