Why we do not need tort reform in any health care reform
A heckler raids Rep. Moran's town hall with insipid question about including a tort reform in a health care bill (via HotAir.com)
Well, Dr. Dean claims that it's because trial lawyers' lobby is too powerful and no one wants to take them on. That may be true at some level, but that's half truth.
The real truth is that not only is it difficult to prevent malpractice suits, but we should not limit malpractice suits in any way whatsoever because malpractice suits save lives. Trying to limit this beneficial operation would be as horrifying as it is unethical. Just talk to this father whose son came back to life after he won the malpractice suit against the greedy doctors.
