re: #504 Dark_Falcon

Think about it this way: Malpractice reform made sure that the 80% of Texans would do have insurance can see a doctor. The out-of-control malpractice system down there pre-reform was causing doctors to leave the state. I don’t want to make malpractice claims impossible, but better standards and a reduction of jury awards would be a wise thing in my eyes.

It’s true, and I don’t disagree with the fact that we do need tort reform. But to hold it up as some sort of magic bullet that will all of a sudden fix our healthcare system is absurd.
