So lets predict the future. The federal government will someday step in and say doctors can only make X amount a year, can charge only X amount this and that. The hospitals costs will still be going up every year and the government will not be able to keep up with all the changes year to year so the quality of care will suffer while the hospitals try to balance their books.
History is repeating itself.

I think the Gov will step in and regulate malpractice awards before they regulate how much a Doctor can make. Doctors have a fighting voice, malpractice people don't.
Other Countries don't seem to have a problem with this, they regulate costs from products, equip, services, drugs, returns, speeds of returns, etc.. In America, Insurance companies set the standards and practices.. they control the cost of products by allowing hospitals/doctors to over inflate the costs.
