I heard on the news this morning that President Obama is going to address the AMA regarding universal healthcare. One of the things he is going to propose is limiting the payouts on medical malpractice lawsuits.

Is this basically a bribe to the AMA? The AMA have been pushing this for years but the democrats and the trial lawyers have been resisting this.
So are Obama and the democrats turning their backs on the lawyers now? How does Democrat John Edwards feel about this?

Sassyone - Why all of a sudden due democrats support tort reform for malpractice? Shouldn't that have been done 20 years ago when it was proposed?
