Howard Dean stepped up to the podium and candidly answered the valid question, which, has been known for some time... The Democrats are bought, paid for, and afraid of trial lawyers(future politicians).

democrats = cowards

Sometimes I just love Howard Dean. Those times are when he forgets he's a politician and is supposed to be pissing on your leg while insisting that it's raining and has these moments of truth. Any discussion of healthcare reform that doesn't include tort reform (among other things) is a joke.

I know that frivolous lawsuits exist, but who am I to decide weather your lawsuit is frivolous? Moreover why would you take the power away from that jury and give it to anyone? I gave away my rights for the protection of my country only to watch my country give away its rights for the protection of big business. Are we saying that juries are no longer capable of rendering just verdicts and need the government to decide fair compensation?

I am not a smart person I have a degree from a community collage and recently retired from the military after years as a ground pounder. I used to think that tort reform sounded like a good idea. However upon further investigation I have realized that it takes the power away from the people without giving citizens anything in return. I dont trust many people but I really dont trust a few people to make decisions for everyone. does anyone thing that insurance companies dont want to make money?...

Democrats love frivolous lawsuits, like those fat people who sue McDonald's.

If they're willing to ignore one american, what makes anyone think they give a damn about anyone else? There's a very good way to stop government spending: put down the government and it's criminals.

Many of those politicians are former lawyers. If they had any stones at all they'd take on the lawyers in a second.

@ForTehNguyen Massachusetts did it all wrong too! The problem is none of the states can afford this reform, that is why we need the federal government to handle it. Let's spend our federal taxes on making sure our fellow Americans can have access to healthcare instead of spending 3 TRILLION on needless, illegal, and immoral wars. What do ya think?

Massachusetts has the highest premiums in the nation, and guess what they already have Obamacare

Your opinions need to be heard!!! Would you back Barak 0bama's new health care bill? Stop by my you tube channel to learn exactly why Americans opinons means something !!

[Wintermute01001]

The Congressional Budget Office found that over 10 years, tort reform would save $54 billion. In 2008 alone, we spent $2.3 TRILLION dollars on health care. So over ten years, tort reform will save TWO PERCENT of what we spent in one year. That's why Dems oppose tort reform, because it won't accomplish jack shit.

[phillipmarch22]

You are correct! Tort reform has NOTHING to do with our screwed up healthcare system. Texas and California have the strictest tort reform laws, yet the citizens of those 2 states pay the highest private health insurance premiums. Tort reform protects the doctors and insurance companies, period!
