Unintended Consequences

Unintended consequences seem to be the paramount of politics, but sadly Barack Obama is about to see the true unfolding consequences of his crusade for health care.  It seems that the age of employer-sponsored health care is coming to a close.  We will hope that this health care fair will actually reduce health care costs, but that is far from likely.  The source of high health care costs is very heavily tied into legal costs associated with medical malpractice, etc.  I don't think only addressing one of many of the aspects of health care costs are going to solve the health care cost problem.  I doubt that we will ever see a politician put limits on a lawyer, as they all come from the same virulent breed.
