# 1. She also sited what they did in Alaska for tort reform with her help.
# 2. While we have had some successes in some states,
tort reform never got enough traction to actually stop frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits across all states in the country, nor did the successes for tort reform go far enough. The fight for tort reform is far from over.
# 3. We are right now fighting against 0bama’s nasty healthcare bill. Tort reform is one of the biggest weapons to be used against 0bamacare, because the # 1 reason why health costs are super high in this country, is because of lawyers.
# 4. The fact that others have fought for tort reform before in this country, doesn't mean Sarah Palin can't fight for tort reform at this time, when we need to fight for tort reform even harder than ever, because of the possible horrors from 0bamacare.
Nope. She merely cites the law in her "own state of Alaska," but that particular law was passed in 1997.

And we didn't need Sarah Palin to tell us that ... in fact, George Bush made it a central part of his presidential agenda.

You've conflated two separate issues here, and that's a mistake.
Obama's nasty healthcare bill is indeed awful. It is horrendously irresponsible precisely because no attempt has been made to understand the causes of the problems (e.g., high cost) that it purports to be solving. It is based on ideology rather than facts, and that is why it should be opposed.
The second issue is as you say: to determine why health care costs are so very high, and to address those causes. Tort reform would certainly help to address that, but that's only a piece of a larger puzzle. Insurance itself tends to raise health care prices, in the form of increased overhead and reduction of market forces within the health care economy. This is a topic that needs to be addressed separately from any opposition to Obamacare.
# 4. The fact that others have fought for tort reform before in this country, doesn't mean Sarah Palin can't fight for tort reform at this time.
True -- and welcome aboard to her. The problem is that folks hereabouts seem to think that Sarah Palin's sudden arrival has transformed the battle; but it has not. She's late to the game, in fact.
