Regarding the high costs of health care in the USA, one area I haven't yet seen mentioned in this thread is the legal expenses doctors and hospitals face due to malpractice legislation. The insurance costs are high, but maybe even higher are the additional testing that is done to build a defense against malpractice into the actual processes practiced.

That has been a long running debate in the US. The remedy I usually heard offered on bubblevision, was make it nearly impossible to sue. Same thing for every other sort of liability case: protect the "JCs". Except when Mark Haines was on the desk, because he would say "if there is no proximate cause, there is no recovery", which I interpreted as "if the doc didn't honk up, plaintiff isn't going to win".

This is another issue that the western Europeans must have dealt with in some manner, that still affords the patient some protection from the sort of hacks I have seen in the news.

Meanwhile, laff break, from a metro Detroit area tort lawyer. I see another attorney now has an ad showing the exact same thing
