America, Isn't There A Better Way?

Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina said people tell her they are frightened of the health care bill to be debated by the House. (RE: CNN Ticker)
FOXX DELIVERS FIRST SPEECH ON HOUSE FLOOR, CALLS FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE REFORM  http://www.foxx.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=55§iontree=54,55&itemid=67

Quote from Ms. Foxx
"The escalating cost of health care is a major concern "
"Due to an onslaught of frivolous lawsuits, our physicians are being forced to pay exorbitant premiums on their liability insurance. The rates have risen so high that many family practitioners and OB/GYNs are being forced to retire early or simply go out of business. Doctors are refusing to deliver babies or perform surgery because they’re afraid of being sued. This is especially a problem in our rural communities where many doctors are sole practitioners.  Just as alarming, our medical school enrollments are on the decline, which will limit the health care available to our future generations."

She seems to say that there is a need for MORE LAWS to restrict citizens' lawsuits.
Lawmakers seem to turn a deaf ear to the fact that INSURANCE PREMIUMS will always go up no matter how many laws you pass against the people who PAY THEM.
What prevents them from exploring REGULATING THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY and  MEDICAL CARE COSTS?
