This is one plausible solution to malpractice reform that I’ve always supported. Dr. Charles writes more on a bill introducing health courts:
Our lawsuit culture is disgusting. Anyone who stands up to do anything of consequence in our society is at risk of being sued for it. Teachers, policemen, doctors, coaches, ministers – we’re generally trying to make the world a better place, but we’re all living in fear, waiting for the next “privileged and confidential” letter from an attorney stating that we’re about to be raped by an unfair legal system. I live it everyday.
