I have to agree with Matt. He is one of the reasons healthcare costs are so high. I don't know where most liberals stand on this, but I for one think we should severly limit the amount and number of malpractice cases in the US. Doctors are human and will make mistakes. So for that one mistake we are punishing millions of people by driving up health insurance costs and driving up healthcare costs in general. I'm not saying doctors should not be held accountable.....but they work in a high risk field and in all kinds of healthcare there is a risk of mistakes. We can dream of everyone having healthcare, but until people are willing to accept the realities of helathcare it will remain a dream.

We should be addressing the cost of healthcare before we can even think of providing everyone with healthcare. I'm not talking about tax credits either...I'm talking bottom line cost.
