"massive influx" - are there any numbers on that? Limiting malpractice awards or maybe forced arbitration will lower physician costs. My personal experience: A small invisible trace of blood in urine lead to my doctor cajoling me to see a specialist. After a CAT scan, ultrasound, and poking a periscope thingy into my you know what, he concluded that it was the blood thinner I was taking that may have caused the trace. But, he said there is scar tissue in my tubes and he must ream it out. I objected and said I had no problem. He said, (and I'm not kidding) that if he put him and me side by side I would see that he could pee much faster than me. I told him in so many words that I wasn't interested in winning a pissing contest, I was satisfied to just get to the finishing line. He was pissed and so was I, so to speak. I didn't mean to go into that much detail on my anecdotal experience, but things like this happened twice before. Expensive procedures just because specialists want to drum up business? or because they want to cover their butts from malpractice and leave no stone unturned? both? If this sort of thing was controlled would it backfire and remove needed health care from those who really need it? It seems that some sort of triage is needed, but that scares the poor folks.
