[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1562913, member: 7629"] YES tort reform is badly needed ... for proof look at what fear of malpractice lawsuits has done. it's well known, doctors will order batteries of tests to not only make more $$$. but just as importantly insulate themselves from threats of extremely costly lawsuits. costs to defend lawsuits can be as much if not more than actual lawsuit. costs that even if defendant wins, will never be recouped. this is why insurance companies will settle certain type actions over objections of defendants ... the costs to defends exceeds risks of loosing. this cost has been passed down to the general public in form of HIGHER & higher healthcare costs. it seems the needs of a few has been passed on to the many. why can't there be extremely high limits placed on certain type lawsuits? this would meet the needs of both plaintiffs and defendants. it appears the state has been doing this for decades. why does it have to be all or none?
