Abstract:     
This brief Essay will focus, in somewhat truncated fashion, on the following broad set of questions: How well does the legal liability regime deal with selected current issues? The Essay will raise some issues regarding the current state of liability law and relate those issues to current health policy concerns such as quality assurance and cost containment. I will conclude that some premises of liability law have been called into question and are in need of rethinking.
