In answer to the orginal question, I'd like to see something that would likely keep escalating health care costs from affecting me via things like higher premiums, higher cost sharing and/or higher provider charges. Examples of actions that would do that include tort reform and changes in the fee-for-services system currently used. .... As an aside, I fail to see what segment of the Democratic Party base is opposed to tort reform. Other than trial lawyers (and the politicians who take their contributions), who is opposed to this?
