About half the states have enacted some sort of tort reform that caps malpractice payouts, and in none of them is there any evidence that it has resulted in lower health care insurance premiums.
Most of the stuff the gov’t. has tried really hasn’t worked,so doesn’t common sense tell us that the feds should not be a part of certain aspects of our life? Not ALL of them,but certainly part of them.

Did the trial lawyers write the ‘law’? ‘Loser pays’ (think only a few States there)? Whom got the cap, payout or the client...or lawyers? Slight dip in the max. ‘pain & suffering\mental trauma’? Terminate the judge ‘instructing’ the jury?
Def. haven’t seen any decrease in the #\freq of ambulance chasing, so it must still be lucrative enough; whatever ‘reform’ govt allowed to take place vs. their kick-backs.
Why many people now a days won’t lift a finger to save a life, these ‘reforms’ of which you speak haven’t done much vs. sue-happy\jury stupidity that’d cost one everything they own for a snagged hang-nail.
Course, I have yet to see where MORE verbiage\regs\rules\etc. reduce the cost of ANYTHING...
