Goodies for trial lawyers in House 'reform' bill

Considering how much cash trial lawyers pour into Democratic party coffers every year, it seems only fitting that they would receive some golden nuggets that benefit them at the expense of everyone else.

Jennifer Rubin writing at Commentary Contentions:

A friend points out a little nugget of absurdity and political mendacity in the Pelosi health-care bill. Remember Obama's effort to try a "test" for tort reform? (We don't actually need a test, since it has worked to lower medical malpractice coverage and help increase access to doctors in every state that has tried it.)

Well, Pelosi's bill has an anti-tort-reform measure. On pages 1431-1433 of the 1990 page spellbinder, there is a financial incentive for states to try "alternative medical liability laws."

But look - you don't get the incentive if you have a law that would "limit attorneys' fees or impose caps on damages."
