Socializing health care will ruin the system
From James T. Galloway

Torts affect a variety of people. More than half of civil law cases come from medical issues. Tort issues cause many problems in today’s health-care services. Doctors many times are questioning themselves because of lawsuits, which give the reason for all the tests they do, to come to a decision in what to do. I would agree with those procedures. Not only would it improve health faster, it would be safer, as well as cheaper.
Lawsuits increase health-care costs. Tort Reform has had many problems in the United States, many civil issues continue to come to the surface. It is important that our representatives and senators in the United States Congress deal with the issues in health
care in a common-sense approach, and not use health care as a political pawn for individual gain, but have Tort Reform that serves the people’s needs and not politicians of both political parties.
The doctors have to have expensive malpractice insurance to protect them and their businesses against such claims. The American Tort Reform Association was created in 1986 by the American Medical Association and American Council of Engineering Companies. It is the only national organization solely dedicated to reforming the civil justice system. The National Tort Reform Association (NTRA) has been working to make civil law cases more fair. Victims are backed by personal-injury lawyers who attack doctors and businesses in huge civil law suits. Today the odds are huge that there will be a big pay out, and it’s almost a guarantee in such cases. The NTRA believes this is not good for the United States and bad for business and our society. They believe Tort Reform change should come about from common-sense reforms and many of these cases should be challenged. It is hard to measure the affect of these civil cases, 99 percent of possible settlements of Tort cases are settled out of U.S. courts, 90 percent are never taken to court, and are settled out U.S. courts. The need for more reform will be continually needed to deal with ineffective laws and deal with current civil-case issues in this United States.
The efforts to socialize the health-care system in America by the president and members
of both houses in the U.S. Congress would bring our health-care system to ruin. These
politicians have a mindset of control over the people and use it as a weapon to give them impudenty of power and have the intention of taking the people’s liberty from them.
