The hoi polloi gets something right for a change...

This is encouraging:

Most Americans want something to be done about the rising costs of health care and insurance before Congress takes on malpractice lawsuits.

Well, maybe not *that* encouraging:

Still, 60 percent of those questioned say the lawsuits were a very important factor in causing higher health care costs.

Wrong... thanks for playing. It probably accounts for about one or two percent of health care costs (at the most). But of course you won't hear many folks on the news actually say that... repeat it often enough and the masses will start parroting the malpractice reform line.
