Many doctors and experts have pointed to tort reform as a key element of any effort to hold down the costs of health care.

Though an obvious contributor to health care problems, tort reform is not part of any of the Democratic Party bills for revising the United States health care system.

It seems that the president should be desperate to find some savings in his health care plan, as the Congressional Budget Office report has said almost every Democratic Party idea increases rather than decreases spending.

Tort reform may very well be the ticket to heath care savings that President Obama is looking for.

The accounting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers says about 10 percent of the cost of medical service is attributable to medical malpractice lawsuits. Roughly 2 percent is caused by direct costs of the lawsuits; an additional 5 percent to 9 percent is due to expenses run up by defensive medicine.

So why the lack of tort reform in ObamaCare? Start with the campaign dollars the president received from the legal industry: The latest Federal Election Commission data (released 7/13/09) reports that Obama received the most cash of any candidate from lawyers or law firms - more than $43 million. (Democratic Scumbag Lawyers working toward their own self interests)

He received almost three times more from them than Hillary Clinton ($15 million) and more than four times the amount John McCain received ($9.9 million). Obama received almost 50 percent of all dollars from the legal industry, and two-thirds of all legal industry dollars went to Democrats Obama and Clinton.

It's difficult to present any logical reason Obama would not include tort reform in his health care planning, yet it is quite easy to fathom $43,071,129 financial reasons.

The Democratic Party's attack on the insurance industry is taking the public's eye off a larger culprit - the party and the president's relationship with the legal profession...
