The big one this time around was how tort reform is going to reduce the outrageous cost of health care. According to this report put out by the Congressional Budget Office earlier this year, if they put a cap on damages and banned punitive damages, it would at best lead to a one half of one percent of a decrease in medical costs. That’s .5%

I figured out how much my company and I spend per year on medical insurance, deductibles, co-pays and even threw in aspirin and shit like that and came up with about $12,000. That means if tort reform takes affect I will save about $50.

Thank god Bush is looking out for me, the little guy.
