The bill won’t go anywhere with Democrats in the majority… but I don’t think the plan is good anyway (albeit better than the $1T plan the Democrats are pushing). However, the last bullet point, “Limitations on malpractice lawsuits”, to me, is the first step in getting health care under control. Reduce malpractice insurance to less than one-quarter (currently above one-half for some institutions) of upkeep and we’ll see a dramatic reversal in costs.
