Hi Terry,
Tort reform isn't that you can't sue, it sets limits. Guidelines. No more 200 million dollar lawsuits for a hangnail.
Health care needs to be put back to the consumer. If it was,prices would drop considerably. There are many things that need to be changed back using common sense before any real savings can be made, but one of the first needs to be that non us citizens need to put the money up front before getting any treatments. Us Paying for people right off the plane from other countries raking up millions of dollars worth of treatment HAS TO STOP.
Many doctors are even changing their way of operation not dealing with insurance companies where you pay a once a year fee to be on retainer & pay a small fee on a per use basis, and if you have insurance you take care of all the paperwork (doc saves on personel), and you sign a waiver where you agree up front not to sue so the doctor automatically saves $200,000-$300,000 worth of malpractice insurance (why we need tort reform) . I would go for this if my doctor went this route.
Shouldn't your neighbor's house insurance pay for your accident?
