Who in America isn't convinced that Health Care costs could be lowered if Tort Reforms were made to protect the medical profession and facilities from frivolous suits? Even President Obama said "Pilot" Tort Reforms should be included in the current Health Care bills in Congress and to be carried out in a couple of states. Hello Obama! Missouri, Mississippi, and Texas have already done this! Good ideas usually come from State Governments. Here is a case that three states have already done what Obama says should go into a bill and done again when, if ever, a Health Care bill is finalized and passed. What is wrong with gaining the benefits NOW? Oh, it was a Republican idea.I see.
The Missouri plan did venue reform (where suits are addressed), set non-economic caps to $350,000 which also implicitly capped punitive charges which are usually some multiple, and set up examinations of malevolent gestures.
We all want lower costs. At least two of the three states are at the point of showing that Tort Reforms have accomplished that, and We the People are again misled by the President who is either ignorant of the facts with respect to the states already doing this, or simply trying to sound like he's in favor of it and by throwing out bones he can capture support for HIS plan. It's a Republican plan. It's already proven. Implement it throughout America and reduce Health Care costs now! Grrrr.Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does". You decide.
