Malpractice Solutions to Health-Care Costs

                 

We have special courts for bankruptcies where judges handle creditor and debtor claims, tax liens, and workers compensation.

                       

One of the complications that requires change, and proves costly in health care, is malpractice cost. The problems are primarily due to the huge amounts of lawsuits against providers. And fraud that permeates the system.

                                           

The result: The high outlays due to defensive medicine and doctor malpractice insurance premiums.

                       

Yet ObamaCare does nothing to stop this menace.

                       

The practical solution: Arbitration courts made up of judges, trained in science and medicine. That would eliminate awards because of “junk science.”

                       

The courts could eliminate attorney’s award proceeds and put a cap on out-sized sums that ordinarily come from ignorant jurists. While seeing that patients are compensated for actual malpractice. Courts would be financed from doctor insurance premiums. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
