“As we have all heard, the U.S. spends a higher percentage of its gross domestic product for health care than any other country… Certainly some goes to inefficiencies, corporate profits, and costs that should be lowered by professional liability reform and national, free-market insurance access by allowing for competition across state lines.

What we need now is insurance and liability reform—not health-care reform.”
