The vast majority of malpractice cases take place in state courts. Most states have addressed tort reform. Are you suggesting Washington should override the will of the state legislatures on this issue?
Re: “Most states have addressed tort reform.”
In theory, perhaps, but only a handful of states have been very successful.
“Reducing the burden of medical tort is critical to increasing Americans’ health ownership and reducing medical costs that curtail our access to care. Some progress is evident, but states aiming to improve their medical-tort laws still have a long way to go.”
