Look at France, Canada, and the UK. They have a much lower lawsuit rate. Either universal health care prevents suits, people in the US are lawsuit crazy, or US doctors aren't as good. I can't really think of another explanation.

I'm not here to address what people resent. Honestly, I could really care less. The bottom line is that outside the 2% (and even including the 2%, after all, those doctors in the 2% won't be sued as often), this will ultimately be very beneficial.
