So....we know that tort reform is unlikely to save enough to make a significant difference in the cost of health care. We also know that in states where tort reform has been passed, patients have more difficulty accessing health care. In addition, where in your proposal is there ANY statement about providing reasonable cost health insurance to the more than 40 million citizens without health insurance OR a recommendation focused on decreasing the cost of health care. Your proposal is simple, yes, but incomplete and does not address most of the major problems related to cost and access to health care. As a health care provider for the past 45 years, I have yet to see anything resembling a desire to forge a bipartisan approach to the health care problems. We are the only major country in the western world that does not provide basic health care to all of its citizens. How embarrassing for us and how sad for our citizens
