I sent the following to my two senators (Cornyn and Hutchison) and to the White House:
PLEASE -- if you change healthcare, do it in a way that makes sense! If the government must take over insurance, and if the government is unwilling to consider tort reform that would truly reduce costs, then TAKE OVER PROVIDERS' MALPRACTICE INSURANCE and leave my medical insurance alone!
That would DRASTICALLY reduce costs without punishing the 85% or so of us who are happy with our coverage and do not want to see a change. It would also encourage more people to pursue careers in the medical profession, and it would likely allow the return of many charitable hospitals and clinics.
It would also continue to reward the research and development efforts that have made the U.S. the world leader in medical care.
