Obama specifically told the AMA that tort reform was off the table. He was booed for it, but I appreciated his clarity at that moment even if this particular stand isn’t very wise. (Nor is it particularly foolish; the malpractice system is terrible but ‘defensive medicine’ appears to be worth only about 5-6% of total spending.)
