Still waiting on tort reform savings
Texas may not have been the first state to welcome tort reforms but I can’t imagine anyone embracing it with such wild enthusiasm as Texans over the past 20 years or so.
It was never hard to sell to the public because of all the promises of savings on insurance premiums touted by tort reform proponents, proving once again that everyone votes in their own self-interest when they pull the voting booth curtain.
During his failed presidential bid, Texas Gov. Rick Perry perpetuated the myth that implementing Texas-style tort reforms would go a long way toward curing what’s wrong with the healthcare system. Perry was polling at 1 percent going into the South Carolina primary.

In some cases, tort reforms have had the desired impact on Texas’ litigious business climate. As for when savings on insurance premiums will finally trickle down to the average working family, we could be in for a long, long wait.
