Candidates Discuss Tort Reform, Health Care

Tort reform was a hot topic at a gubernatorial debate in Georgia last Saturday. During the debate, candidates shared their views on issues such as embryonic stem cell research and Medicaid funding, but it was discussion of medical malpractice and tort reform that caught Project Lawsuit Abuse’s attention.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on the debate and pulled out some of the statements. It is a step in the right direction that candidates are talking about tort reform and lawsuit abuse. Hopefully we will start to see lawmakers acting on them and not just talking about them.
