103. But the tort reform that exists in CA
is exactly the kind Bush is proposing: simply limiting what injured injured parties (or survivors) can get. It does not address reducing the share of awards that lawyers who gouge clients take home, it does not address the incompetence of doctors or their refusal to self-police, it does not address Rule 11 sanctions for frivolous lawsuits, it does not address the profit-seeking behaviors of insurance companies, perhaps the most profitable businesses in the world, who operate virtually without regulation in many states.

So why do you think that Bush's policy would do more good than harm? I think it just blames the victim.
