Health Care Reform part II Reducing Costs

Health Care reform needs to have a process of determining what solutions have been working at the state level and move them to a national level. States have been acting as laboratories for health care reform for decades and there is plenty of evidence out there of what works and doesn't work. This seems like the logical way to go about it.
Not in Washington DC, logic has nothing to do what is occurring in DC. Logic has left the capital a long time ago and is sorely missed. Logic would tell you to work with others nicely, because one day they might be in charge , as support grows for one term and your out, these issues just disappear forever short memories do not carry grudges.
One of the most successful Health Care reforms enacted by the states has been Tort Reform. Now that is a very dirty word among democratic leadership. What got me interested in Tort Reform was a response from Nancy Pelosi about why it would not work. It was such a bad performance it made me think if she is so against it to sound this stupid defending not doing anything, there must be something to it. So the deeper I looked and the more I read the better Tort Reform looks. It has contained costs in every state that has enacted reform. How can any of the elected representatives from the states where it has proven successful not be in support of it. Both republicans and democrats are guilty. How can anyone be against it if it is good for just about everyone. Well that last just about everyone means someone will be effected by it and they won't be happy. You know I am referring to the trail lawyers. Howard Dean came out and said it, "we can afford to anger the trail lawyers". Four of the top seven donors for Majority Leader Harry Reid's campaign are trail lawyer associations. Ms Nancy Pelosi manages to have four of her top eight donors be trail lawyers. This is as special as "special interests" get. In ten years these associations have donated $1 Billion to federal campaigns and $1 Billion to state elections. That is a lot of money! That will but a lot of influence. The time has come for change, just not the change that we were promised.
