Tort Reform

Isn't it funny that the Democrats are against tort reform? Why? Because the trial lawyers are against it and they are funding Democrats. How is it that the single most cost saving issue to fix Health Care is left out? Here is the issue. Republicans are being bought by insurance industries which don't want more regulation. Democrats are being bought by trial lawyers who could care less about malpractice insurance rates. The Congressional Budget Office has notified congress that the tort reform would resolve these costs more than any other measure. How can Democrats deny this is necessary. People still need to be able to sue when a Dr. screws up. If my neighbor wins $500k when he sues his Dr. who pays for it? I do every month when I buy insurance. Everyone does. The money goes back in the system. Problem is you have to allow for the lawsuits. How much is allowable is the big question, but one that needs addressed.
