If he's going to do this, then he ALSO NEEDS to go after the frivolous malpractice lawsuits against doctors. If a patient comes into the ER with a headache and doctors don't order a CT or MRI of the head (even if they do not think it is necessary) and the patient has a 0.001% chance of having a slow bleed hematoma- then that same patient will go after the doctor and the hospital for malpractice. So doctors are encouraged to practice defensive medicine because of the litigious environment they work in.
