Numbers 2 and 3, I have no problems with. I don't know for sure that tort reform would have as big an impact as you think, but it probably wouldn't hurt as long as it isn't left to the rabidly anti-lawyer crew to work out the details. There still needs to be legal recourse for patients.

Nice post, and shout-free!
Thanks... as far as Tort reform... I am referring to taking steps to reduce frivilous lawsuits... which are a huge drain on the system and guidelines for awards so that awards aren't given based on emotion but real damages + limited awards for emotional distress. Awarding someone $500 million just isn't realistic and only enriches lawyers in the end.
