Comment Re:New England Journal of Medicine Summary of Plan (Score 1) 1270

Neither plan addresses victims of malpractice. The McCain plan mentions Malpractice Reform, but this is mainly about protecting doctors against abusive lawsuits. The interplay between medical and psychiatric illness is difficult and complex, and probably way beyond the scope of this thread, but in a general sense, the Obama plan's emphasis on disease prevention, health maintenance, and electronic medical records would be expected overall to decrease complication rates for people with chronic conditions such as schizophrenia. For specific suggestions on recourses, I better leave that to any lawyers reading along here. Good luck.
