Default U.S. Doctors want tort reform.

"We found that regardless of a physician's political affiliation, the
respondents attributed the practice of defensive medicine to excessive
waste in the health care system," said Rick Jackson, chairman and CEO
of Jackson Healthcare, in a statement."

~~Sorry - no can do. Gotta keep the trial lawyers busy and rich.~~

The survey found that 62 percent of physicians disagreed with the
American Medical Association's (AMA) stance on health care reform. Of
those, 46 percent said they "strongly disagree" with the AMA's stance.

Heh - what a shock.



Nothing wrong with tort reform. But, that's not going to solve the
healthcare cost issue. I know this troubles you, but it's not as simple as
that.
