Of course there are different types of Tort reform. Not all of them are evil. In Pa we are talking about forcing suits to live up to a certain standard before making it to court. There has to be a way to limit nonsense suits which are clogging the courts. Garbage suits are keeping legitimate victims from being heard in a timely manner. That has nothing to do with putting caps on victims awards.

My own Family Doctor says the big ticket players (surgeons and other specialists) should stop whining and leave the state already since they are only paying about 10 percent of their income for insurance just the same as he is. He has a point. However he has been pulled into many suits that have nothing to do with him and even though he has never lost one of those suits, it costs him money to constantly defend himself and leave his practice unattended. Clearly this is a circumstance that calls for reform. The good guys should not be punished for the small percentage of doctors who actually deserve to be sued.
