Tort reform, while I agree should be part of the healthcare bill, amounts to less than 1% of the costs of healthcare. You can reform it all day long and it isn't going to amount to much of anything on its own.
If THAT is the GOP's answer, that explains why they have become such an insignificant party these days.
Same response to Southern Democrat. I'd go farther, but it would help significantly. While the costs of lawsuits themselves are reletively small, this ignores the defensive medicine that goes on to prevent a risk of these lawsuits. Also, that isn't their entire idea of reform
I think their other grand idea was "Try to reduce the costs of medical school". :doh
Your party has plenty of "grand ideas" as well
