Why We Can't Have Tort Reform

Obama and his team are generally opposed to Tort Reform of any kind, and have basically dismissed it. They say malpractice law suits "may be contributing to health costs." Now the Washington Examiner took a look at the savings if we had Tort Reform, and said it could reduce 27% of health costs.

It would also save 54 billion a year in the deficit. So why can't we have Tort reform?

Because the trial lawyers' political action committee is the second largest donor to Democrats campaign. In 2008 they gave 127 million dollars to democratic congressional candidates.

That is why we can't have Tort reform. The same reason the dems are killing the D.C. voucher system. Because the teacher's unions are big democrat supporters.
