Doctors pay out the nose for malpractice insurance and test patients for everything driving up costs. It must be addressed.

Citizens need to understand the difference between health care costs and health care insurance accessibility. Obviously health care insurance costs is related to both but the issue presently at hand is accessibility and how that cost is going to be paid and by whom.

But yes, health care cost needsto be addressed but that is an even bigger lobbying group injecting their influence into government. Don't expect much to happen there.

That's why the Democrats called their bungling the "Affordable" care act?

From a solution stand point? We should just have a single payer system. From an execution stand point, the jobs loss and salary reductions would be staggering.

Yes. The intent was lower cost for health care insurance. I know you are not too bright but how can you be this obtuse and still stand up straight?

fully disagree. Your opinion is not substantiated by all the facts. Yes, some economists predict what you are stating; others differ. Imagine that?

To which part? The latter? I acknowledge it's not settled science. I think it's highly probable though, but I guess we'll have to pass it to see what's in it.

Doctors may pay "out the nose" for malpractice insurance, but the insurance companies are making big bucks from it. Their rates keep going up while politicians put limits (caps) on how much people can recover from negligent doctors. So while the amount of financial exposure goes down and is capped, there is no cap or limit on how much the insurance companies charge for insurance. Your rights are capped while insurance companies' profits are not. Sad. That's the real story the media should be exposing. That would be Real News.

By shuffling dollars around? Rather than hospitals raising our prices to cover those that don't pay, not hospitals and insurance companies are. And insurance companiest are getting a huge kickback from the feds. Yes, costs sure will go lower with that plan.
