Insurance Reform, Not National Health Insurance
A gentleman writing a recent letter to the editor of my local newspaper thought he was making a case for national health insurance, but he actually made a case for insurance reform. He was basically ranting about the fact that small businesses and the self-employed generally do not have access to true group insurance the employees of large corporations do. So far, the insurance lobby has succeeded in putting the brakes on any attempts by legislators to rectify this situation.
However, we dont need another huge government bureaucracy like national health insurance. We just need laws

In a personal injury lawsuit, will I have to be examined by a doctor for the other side?
Q: During my case, will I have to be examined by a doctor for the defense?
A: In almost every type of injury case the answer is yes. When you put your medical condition in issue, and you claim you were injured because of another's wrongdoing, the defense has a right to have you examined by a doctor of their choosing. This allegedly (at least in theory) allows them to evaluate your current medical condition to see for themselves whether you are truly as disabled as you claim to be.

without first obtaining as much background knowledge as possible.
