Tort Reform: Obama's Silver Bullet
In last night's speech to the joint session of Congress, the president was pretty tough on his opponents, pounding them on "scare tactics" and accusing them of trying to score short-term political points at the expense of the nation's well-being. But he held out one glimmer of hope to Republicans: medical-liability, or "tort," reform. "I don't believe malpractice reform is a silver bullet, but I've talked to enough doctors to know that defensive medicine may be contributing to unnecessary costs," the president said, prompting enthusiastic applause from the GOP. He unveiled a plan to pursue "demonstration projects" in various states that would explore several options for reducing defensive medicine practices while ensuring patient safety. Obama has directed Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius to commence work on the projects immediately.
