The answer spending less money on healthcare goes down and it is not the high cost of health insurance coverage is not the cost of insurance coverage less available.

Just expanding the system is not the answer as the system is bloated and inefficient. We need to have more efficient choices in our health care.

There was a system which I saw proposed in California where smaller clinics would be opened up in strip malls and community centers. Staffed by Nurse practitioners and Physicians assistants and working in consort with doctors, they would be allowed to take care of simple illnesses and injuries that clog the emergency rooms now. The cost savings alone would more than make up for the initial cash outlay to start the clinics up.

The liability story either as an excuse for profit companies is ridiculous but something is going to be done dont by the pockets of insurers.
The pockets of insurers.
For high costs and doubt capping claims would do anything except put more money in the pockets of insurers.

No its not the answer. Until the problems with the litigation process is addressed along with the Problems with the Insurance companies it will never be the answer. It is like using a band aid to stop a leak in the dam.

You should not be making money off of people’s health. There is a difference between a doctor paying his bills and having some left over, and a health care organization that is denying people coverage based on profitability. No one should be denied coverage.
