This bill puts the doctors in between a rock and a hard spot. If I understand it correctly the doctors that are deemed by the government to be running tests that are unnecessary they will be fined. However, if a doctor doesn't practice defensive medicine they will get sued by a lawyer looking to pad their pockets because something may have been missed.
To bad Obama would hear nothing of adding tort reform to this bill, but he was more interested in protecting his lawyer buddies.
