Just think. If Hillary had gotten her healthcare bill, it would be blamed
for the current crisis with malpractice insurance.

1. Probably not
There would not be a current crisis in either malpractice insurance,
or the big pharma boondoggle, as far as I can tell.

Further, the results from states that have enacted tort limits are the same as the states that don't, premiums are rising. So if this is a crisis, what kind of crisis is it? I submit it's primarily a crisis in HMO/Insurance profitablity with the baby boom age shift and downsizing of younger worker's benefits. And their answer is to screw us harder.

When people yell 'free market' at me, I mention how well private enterprise is serving the cause of health in America.

2. Good points.
But facts would never get in the way of the RW blaming any Clinton for anything if they could.
