Tort Reform

A tort is another name for a lawsuit.  I believe that all of the frivolous lawsuits are very damaging to our country.  Tort reform is a proposition that the loser pays.  So if someone gets a lawyer to take his/her case and lose they have to pay the court costs of the plaintiff (person being sued).  Most lawyers will take a case for free because their time and cost of filing the lawsuit is the only risk.  I believe that one factor in the high cost of medical care is the very expensive malpractice insurance.  Any costs that a doctor, corporation, or store incurs will be passed onto the customer in higher prices.
