The only issue I have with tort reform is the monies saved is miniscule in relation to the big picture. One's premium may be reduced $30 over a year's span but will save insurance companies plenty and may not reduce doctor's malpractice insurance. In fact in some states where tort reform took place their rates increased instead.

The way the system is now, it keeps doctors and hospitals on their toes. It can keep the quacks to a minimum, and there are plenty of them out there and always have been for millinium. If reform is needed than it should be done to protect the patient not to boost profits for insurance companies.
