With Health-care Reform held captive in Washington the American worker is waking up today to the same Health Insurance program he/she had yesterday, just paying more for it.

Tort reform is not “The Answer” to the health care problem but to put your head in the sand like some legislators have on the issue is insanity. Most proponents of tort reform for medical malpractice believe (and this was echoed by President Obama in his speech last Wednesday) that fear of lawsuits drives doctors to perform unnecessary tests sometimes in redundancy in order to escape malpractice suits.
