get on board with the tort reform, malpractice settlement limit folks. I'm not being judgemental, just speaking from 35 years in health care. If docs perceive they are being targeted for litigtion, they will be defensive in practice. If they are protected, they are more creative and open to alternatives.

This has been a traditional repug issue, though it has an impact on any number of medical practices and procedures. To the extent that the public is willing to limit or even surrender their options to pursue remedy in the courts, then such procedures will increase. No amount of logic, arguing about rights, quality of the experience, will make a significant impact.
