I hope he makes sure tort reform (e.g., loser pays) and malpractice reform are included in the bundle of changes to replace Obamacare.

Over half the states have enacted some sort of tort reform or malpractice caps. There is no evidence that it resulted in lowered health care premiums in any state that enacted it.

How about LOSER PAYS!

Ten Years of Tort Reform in Texas: A Review

Texas chose to adopt reasonable, common-sense lawsuit reforms. As a result, the malpractice insurance premiums paid by Texas doctors have fallen by more than 60 percent on average. Consequently, most Texas doctors are paying less than half of what they were paying 10 years ago.

In contrast, malpractice premiums in New York have increased by 60 percent. As a result, almost 2,000 physicians have moved their practices from New York to Texas. To stem the loss of New York doctors moving to other jurisdictions, New York enacted legislation requiring the State of New York to subsidize the malpractice insurance costs of doctors, ignoring the problems in the state’s legal system that generated the high premium rates.
