Manadatory physician insurance should be a standard. I need it to drive my car, but MD’s dont need it to enter somebody’s brain? No insurance NO paractice. It is cheap now- hence the soft markets and 22 carriers in Florida, only 3 domestic. It isnt too expensive any more.

Caps- we should have one for pain and suffering only, the amount can be argued- It is the only subjective cause of action. Cant measure a pound of pain or can you?.

There is too much med mal, much unreported. From my view, 90% related to fatigue, communication and staffing inefficiency. We as Americans dont fix things on the front end, we are reactionary. Get more nurses.

How about the hazing ritual of training, where residents are broken in with 90 hour weekend shifts. When I am tired I cant even make a sandwich and you want docs to perform a procedure! This isnt obvious?

Healthcare is a creative marketing term. Applause to the lobbyists. It is not healthcare but catastrophe coverage, like for your MI/ CABG procedure. It is the only industry other than baseball protected from anti trust. Read that line again!! Anti trust is OK. Health insurers have protected turf via the archaic 1949 rule McCarron Ferguson.

Lets see- profit as a motive instead of health will never work. Give those in need the minimum and only after we drain them dry. The fix is in.

I get to pay a huge premium on top of my Boss’s. In order to satisfy a horrendous deductible, so I can engineer a copay. This is a great business model. Kudos to the lobbyists and marketing guys. When do they pay? Chances of health and care- slim.

Dont ignore the big gorilla’s in the room fighting the elephant’s. The fixes are much simpler than those offered. I have dozens.
