One of the reasons healthcare in America is so high is that lawyers and their frivolous lawsuits are out of control. The Trial Lawyers Assoc of America (goes under a new name these days) donates over 90% to Democrats and that's why Obama & his Democrat Super Majority in Congress went after doctors, insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies in the healthcare debate 3 years ago - but left lawyers alone when they took tort reform off the table.

Because of bullshit like below, doctors & hospitals need to pay high premiums to insurance companies and - of course - they pass that cost on to consumers.

Cop dies during 3-way sex; widow wins $3M lawsuit

A jury has awarded a Georgia woman $3 million over her husband's heart attack, finding that his doctor should have warned the Atlanta cop against strenuous activity like the three-way sex he was having at the time he died, WXIA-TV reports.

William Martinez, a 31-year-old Atlanta police officer, collapsed and died while he and a male friend were having sex with a woman who was not his wife at an Atlanta airport motel in 2009.

The jury on Friday found that Dr. Sreenivasulu Gangasani and the Cardiovascular Group were 60% to blame for Martinez's death from atheroschlerotic coronary artery disease, agreeing with the plaintiff that the doctor did not properly diagnose and treat Martinez for high blood pressure, chest pains, shortness of breath and irregular heartbeat.

I have said for over three years one of the best ways to control medical costs is tort reform.

This is a classic case of the need for tort reform.

But who is to blame for the other 40%?

Krispy Kreme?
