The ambulance-chasers and their clientele in the Democratic Party would have you believe that the tort reforms signed into law by George W. Bush-with the assistance of willing allies in Texas' largely Democratic state legislature-in 1995 were a disaster in every respect.
They want you to believe that the measures enacted in Texas inevitably led to a Hobbesian legal climate, where people who were the victims of medical malpractice were subject to the whims of uncaring magistrates, who forced them into accepting judgments that were detrimental to their personal well being.
However, the actual facts belie the horror stories peddled by the Bar and their willing accomplices/conspirators in the mass media and national Democratic Party.
If you want to know the truth behind these trailblazing legal reforms, all you need to do is take a cursory glance at a study of this issue conducted for "Citizens For A Sound Economy" by the Perry Group.
Bump!
