The US needs a system where victims of malpractice get compensated but the doctors or hospitals are not necessarily held liable (unless it's gross negligence). US doctors spend a lot of time, energy and legal maneuvering denying and covering up mistakes instead of being able to admit them and improve procedures if necessary.

In my view there should be a nationwide malpractice insurance pool and the medical associations should push for better quality standards within their ranks.
