A Democratic Solution for Malpractice Reform:

Here is an interesting policy piece that is influencing many Democratic leaders with regards to Malpractice Reform. I thought I'd present it here and see what some of your thoughts are on the issue. Here's an exerpt from the policy piece:

Quote:
To win the presidency in November, you must master the issue of rising health care costs. No domestic political issue is more important to the electorate, as workers see their health benefits erode or disappear and CEOs increasingly fear the competitive implications of rising costs. Just sounding sympathetic is not enough: You need a powerful and practical idea that will make a real difference.

The reasons for rising health care costs are many, and most elude simple political solutions. But one significant source of rising costs can be identified and tamed: the dysfunctional way we deal with medical malpractice. You should propose a dramatic reform to replace the current malpractice legal system with specialized health courts.
Here's a link to the entire article if any would like to review it: http://www.dlc.org/ndol_ci.cfm?kaid=...ntentid=254574

I know, it really does. But that's what's so interesting. When you study actual Democratic policy initiatives...they aren't as socialistic as the radio talk show nuts claim they are. Actually, you may not know this but this idea is prevalent among European liberals also and has been for decades. This is a liberal idea, not a conservative one. LOL
