Love her or hate her, but Ann Coulter's got one of the best "thoughts of the day" I've read in ages:
You can make 30 times as much money as a doctor by becoming a trial lawyer suing doctors. You need no skills, no superior board scores, no decade of training and no sleepless residency. But you must have the morals of a drug dealer. (And the bank wire transfer number to the Democratic National Committee.)
She's right:
1. Insurance premiums have gone out of the roof thanks to malpractice lawsuits.
2. Doctors have to follow strict "by-the-book" behaviour and treatment. Otherwise, innovation might be mistaken for malpractice.
3. Patients interpret coldness, distance, and undesirable advice as malpractice, sowing distrust and discord between doctor and patient.
4. Fear, suspicion, and knee-jerk reaction to bad outcomes lead to the inevitable word "malpractice."
All ya need is a fuckin fat lawyer ready to suck the blood out of the insurance system.
And then you've got healthcare that makes people yearn for Canada.
