My "side" has no problem admitting fact number 1. We scream that from the rooftops every day.
I don't recall the Democrats pushing significant tort reform, which will be one of the key components in reducing costs. Do you feel that would be on the table, if the Republicans gave in on some other key components?

If you can support the use of he words "key components" in that comment, we might have a more fruitful discussion.
I think a person ( or family ) should be able to sue a medical professional in cases involving gross negligence resulting in injury or death. But I agree that we have become far too litigious in this nation and that overall medical costs are adversly influenced as a result.
I lived in Japan for a decade. Medical malpractice suits exist there....but they are far less common. They have figured it out, somehow.
