And ObamaCare solves all of these problems? Or is the thrust to get everyone access to essentially the same care?

My sister is a physician who (for some reason she can no longer articulate) voted for Obama. She now says tort reform would solve a lot of problems and produce immediate savings.

Wonder if the trial lawyers are on board with that one.

Oh, let me be clear. ObamaCare solves NOTHING. The ‘thrust’ is to eventually wipe out private insurance companies. Your sister is right about tort reform. The insurance premiums docs have to carry are unreal. My OB/GYN no longer does the ‘OB’ part - she’s entirely GYN/ENDO. She’s concerned women will start giving birth in ditches.

I’d be interested to know who many medicare patients your sister has (assuming she’s in private practice). If she has any experience with Medicare I can’t imagine why she things Obama care would produce savings.
