Medical Malpractice.  The two words have taken on such a pejorative connotation in our society that politicians regularly take aim at them.  The words remain the favorite culprit of insurance companies when they have to explain the rise in premiums to doctors, elected officials, and the average consumer.  Yet, reputable studies in states like Texas have shown that it's really a red herring to which many insurance companies will turn when company executives have to justify an increase in insurance premiums.

The real losers in this faux debate are those who've suffered and lost loved ones as a result of medical errors and medical malpractice.  These are the ones who rely on the civil justice system.  If we're going to debate healthcare, let's do it with facts.  Let's avoid the hyperbole and politically charged arguments that serve the few at the expense of the multitudes who deserve better.
