It appears that reports of widespread enrollment are largely exaggerations by proponents of the law.
Most of what I hear about enrollment are detractors complaining that nothing works. Your comment is a strawman.
In the meantime--to clarify--I was not asserting that malpractice insurance premiums were the SOLE or CHIEF driver of medical costs. I was merely responding in a focused way to BP's assertion that citing medical malpractice costs as a cause for high prices is a "logical canard." I also purposefully focused on a specific cost that affects individual doctors--who are human beings--since there's such a societal penchant for discounting the challenges they face as individuals.
It is a frequently used canard to muck up conversations about health care costs. Doing the math, at this point I don't even know why it is discussed. Much less what doctor's
individual issues are, or something about slavery. I don't understand where you were going with that.
