I can think of, right off the bat, three things that would dramatically ¨fix¨ our healthcare system. Tort reform, tort reform and tort reform. I´m sure there are other things, but I´m just on my first cuppa joe.

"Tort reform" has nothing to do with the current problems in health insurance.

Compared to other things, tort reform is not a big player.
The current problem in health insurance is that it is NOT insurance.
Things to fix it:
1)intERstate sales & competition
2)actual INSURANCE for hi-dollar coverage
3)open and overt pricing
4)shopping for service provider
5)consumer incentive to limit consumption
6)consumer incentive to shop around for best deal
7)govermnent go play on the beach or something, leave us alone
8)did I mention for the government to get their paws off?
Just my thinkin'

Chuck, God bless you man. I'll have to tell my Doctor friends that they're wrong about why they have to sign off on all those useless tests to protect their asses from the Torts.

The two BIGGEST contributions to health insurance costs are #1-Tort, #2 ILLEGALS. Doctors and Hospitals charge more because they pay more out of their pockets for protection against torts and because nobody else is footing the bill for all these illegals that use ER's and don't pay a dime.

Bad news Chuck, as some other guy said, "First kill all the lawyers".

If they would be allowed to sell insurance across state lines, it would also do a lot to lower insurance premiums as it would spread the risk out further.
Other things:
1) HSA's standardized. Why is it Congress couldn't do this even in Obamacare, I will never know
2) Allow a la carte purchasing. (For example: after dad's vasectomy, the family can drop the pregnancy coverage.)
3) Institute a 'loser-pays' fees system in Medical Malpractice. - 6/25/12, 11:16 PM
