Why do libs say nothing about tort reform, if they claim to care about health care cost?

@ Don B...This is one of the few areas where both sides can actually work together for a 'reasonable' solution and all you're doing is throwing rocks.

There's plenty of blame to go around.

TORT Reform...Accessibility to insurance across state lines...and even this idea of Co-Ops (if we can keep the federal government from screwing it up) are all things that could benefit all Americans.

We don't have to behave like children just because the politicians do.

TORT Reform is only a “talking point” by the Republican Party. If you’ll notice, the Republican Party had full control of Congress, Senate as well as the White House between the years of 2000 and 2006 and did nothing about TORT Reform – Your point might be taken a little more serous if when in power, Republican’s acted upon what they “talk about” during elections or during a heated debate such as Healthcare Reform, but they haven’t and won’t.

If you’ll notice, the vast majority of elected officials are Lawyers (on both sides), they are not going to bite the hand that’s feeding them – ever.
