MYTH: TORT (malpractice) Reform Will Reduce Costs

[kenfo0]

It is NOT a myth. The question is bogus, because it does not take into account all factors. For example, it is most CERTAINLY true that TORT reform CAN reduce costs.All that is necessary is Congress legislating that the amount in reduction be equally reflected in pricing and HMO/Insurance costs. Viola, cost savings. The flaw was that if you reduce TORT money, the Drs, HMO and Insurers can simply pocket the savings. TORT is out of control. Jackpot because you spill your coffee on yourself?
