re: #257 laZardo

Isn’t tort reform about removing some of the legal obstacles that insurance companies claim harm their business?

We may have a break-down in communication over words here.

When I say tort reform, and when I have read about it on sites like NRO, it refers to limiting the “pain and suffering” awards with the intent of keeping malpractice insurance rates low.

As those two words don’t necessarily have to refer to this particular effort, it could mean something else, but whenever I have seen it in conservative writing, this was what it referred to. I will try to find a link.
