Tort Reform Is A Scam

I don't practice medical malpractice law, but I have something in common with most lawyers who do.  I know that so-called "tort reform" is a scam, and that most tort reform advocate groups are nothing more than highly paid fronts for the insurance industry.  Their sole motive is to increase insurance company profits at the expense of people suffering grievous injuries as the result of negligent medical treatment (or in the case of auto accident cases, negligent driving).  If you'd like to read a thoughtful article on why tort reform (i.e limiting medical malpractice cases) will do nothing to reduce health care costs, check out the attached opinion piece from the Wall Street Journal written by Rahul K. Parijh, MD, a treating physician who knows what he's talking about.  Any rebuttal comments or thoughts are welcome and will be posted.
