Medical malpractice reform

Mr. Obama was elected on a platform of change. But where is the change, when he advocates keeping the existing malpractice system in place? Malpractice reform is sorely needed to assure that our best medical practitioners are not run out of business by big insurance claims.

The Administration would have you believe that this enables us to assure a better quality of medical care. But that has not worked in the past, and what assurance do we have that it will do so in the past? The only way to assure good care is to assure good medical practitioners. When we allow our best to be run away by unfounded lawsuits and huge judgements, we harm our system. This is one of the problems we have today, and without this change, it will continue in the future.
