The reason healthcare costs have gone sky high is because Doctors charges have gone up. Why have they gone up you ask? Malpractice Insurance. A family doctor can pay out as much as $70k a year on MP Insurance. In a Hospital setting , the Hospital who charges you has to pay MP insurance on multiple doctors, whose coverage can cost a lot more than that if they are high risk surgeons, or OB/GYN specialty. Just like any business trying to make a profit, that cost gets passed on to you.

Why is malpractice insurance so high you ask? Liars, i mean lawyers. The society we live in likes to sue. And to top it off you got these vampires encouraging you to sue, because they have nothing to lose.

This is what the Republicans have been screaming for years. We need tort reform... that should be the #1 focus of anyone who is serious about lowering the cost of healthcare. Why dont they focus on this problem? Because most politicians and their buddies are the same blood sucking lawyers.
