“If medical malpractice presents an impediment to ObamaCare, what do you think is going to happen to the whole subject of medical malpractice?”
There will be tort reform, what else?
Yeah, tort reform. Right.
Trial lawyers own the Dems. Insurance companies don’t: they just enter into convienience deals when the Dems dangle enough incentive carrots in front of them.
Tort reform and the ability to buy insurance from other states were two of at LEAST a dozen things Republicans wanted and fought for since this monstrosity was introduced, not passed, introduced. And they were both shot down repeatedly from “Dead on arrival”, “non-starter” Reid and “you can’t be serious” Pelosi.
Republicans were completely shut out of the discussion.
