Health Care Tort Reform - Not Worth It?????????

In 2009-2010, a debate raged on concerning the Health Care Bill. It was suggested that a provision be included to limit malpractice claims (tort reform). The administration responded that the projected savings would be around $5 Billion dollars per year. It was not considered a significant amount (only a couple of percentage points), so it wasn’t worth serious consideration. ONLY $5 BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR. Our country will never solve its problems with an attitude that $5 Billion dollars per year is not worth saving. If you are part of the one Million households that could keep $5000 more per year, you probably feel it’s worth saving.
This idea that saving Billions of dollars is insignificant should scare us all.
