The Congressional Budget Office - in an analysis that projects a nearly10-fold increase in savings over its findings last year - said tort reform would cut costs by limiting the use of diagnostic tests and other services health care providers and doctors use to reduce exposure to lawsuits. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/oct/10/health-care-tort-reform-a-savings/?feat=home_headlinesSurprisingly Washington left out tort reform in any of the health care reform bills currently under consideration; could it be that most of the politicians in Washington are attorneys! If Washington truly wants to reduce the deficit, tort reform has to be considered. If you want to spur economic growth and help small businesses then reform lawsuit abuse that handcuff small business. Don’t count on this happening anytime soon!
