The Low Hanging Fruit: I think these Savings Should Come before ObamaCare

Now this is an interesting article that could save $500 billion right from the start and not have the government get into the health insurance business at all. The first thing can be solved by tort reform or a cap on malpractice. The claims part can be solved by standardizing insurance forms and procedures.

I was also thrown off by how little savings come from stopping the practice of using the ER like a primary care physician. I figured this would be billions higher.
