On medical malpractice

Okay, here is the deal.
The four major insurance companies in the US report profits that put them in the top 20 of the fortune 500. Doctors live in the best parts of town, drive beautiful cars, and have tons of money (at least all the ones I know do!). People in America who can't afford insurance or who can only afford limited coverage, and minority patients receive much poorer medical care than those who can afford premium insurance or can just pay their health care bills. So, yea, it seems like the ones who are profiting the least, should be the ones to give up something in the old insurance, doctor, litigate triangle. Yea, that does make since at least in hell or republican controlled congresses.
