It's not just Cuccinelli

States are working on suits against the health care reform bill.
So is New Jersey physicians.
Leaving physicians with the choice between practicing efficiently and earning a living is not a solution to the problem. Without fixing the reimbursement system and providing meaningful tort reform to eliminate defensive medicine, costs will continue to rise, insurance premiums will continue to rise, and rather than improving access to healthcare, the Act may well have the opposite effect. Indeed, with passage of the Act, many physicians are already planning early retirement in the face of an already anticipated severe doctor shortage.
Besides, the more people who sue, the cheaper the cost due to volume, right?
