I was surprised that I didn’t score deeper into the lower right quadrant myself.

Doctors and facilites are more then willing to cut deals with people who are “cash pay”.
I think we should cap malpractice suits and make it easier for providers to compete. Cap the awards to something like $200k or better yet, make the plantiff prove that the Doc intended to do harm.
We also have to consider that in 30 years there will be cures for the Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes and the elimination of the associated side effects. That and vacines for the common cold, etc will elimnate the vast majority of future health care costs. So we just need to keep it in prespective.
Kids born today should live to 100-120 easy.
