Liability and damages are 2 different things. Liability should absolutely be capped while punitive damages should not be. With that said, tort reform is an absolute must if you want to have any shot and bringing healthcare costs down. Every sector of healthcare does excessive testing for nearly every illness because if the standard round of testing misses something, they will probably get sued for malpractice.

As I stated before, other countries rising economically have a universal plan and the healthcare industry is flourishing in those countries. All I can say is I support the universal plan that benefits those who have a harder time affording coverage rather than the current plan where people like myself can afford coverage but those that have lower wages and a larger family cannot.
As I have said before, if you are paying less than 300 a month for healthcare you will spend more with socialized healthcare and get lesser care in the process. Taxes will have to go up significantly to pay for this.

Next you will want to say we have a choice right? You could not possibly more wrong. This bill is designed to eliminate private insurance and force everyone onto the govt plan.

If I wasnt married, I wouldnt pay for anything more than a major medical plan that covers anything more than 2k or so. I VERY rarely goto the doc and I can afford a dentist visit every 6 months for less than I pay for insurance. Under the House plan, I would be fined an additional $2500 a year. How do you like that choice?
