...frivolous law suits? An obvious solution to the problem is capping the jury awards on negligence and personal injury lawsuits by tort reform.

Medical providers pass on a huge expense to the consumer for malpractice insurance and run many needless medical procedures all because of greedy and unethical trial lawyers, who prey on the medical community.

Michael Moore did a biased documentary on health care costs but instead of targeting the true villians- trial lawyers, he simply carried the socialist flag and attacked corporations (the mortal enemy of socialists).

Did you know the USA is the only large country in the world that does not apply the English rule of law, where the losing party pays the winning party. Only in America, someone can file a frivolous law suit, hiring a trial lawyer on contingency (the parasite takes 30% - 40%) causing the defendant to spend unlimited funds to defend themself & if the palintiff loses, he doesn't reimburse the defendant for the costs they incurred. Huh?
