In Tom Craddick News Letter

I received this message from Craddick in the mail today. And I would hope DUers would respond to his office.

Lawsuit Reform

During the 78th Legislative Session, legislators, passed significant tort reform legislation, making Texas a model for other states looking to pass similar measures. The reforms have drastically reduced frivolous lawsuits against doctors and hospitals, lowered insurance cost for medical providers and given patients better access to care as doctors spend more time in the examination room and less time in the courtroom.

This session, legislators put Texas even further ahead by voting to keep frivolous asbestos and fast food lawsuits out of Texas. These laws allow only legitimate asbestos lawsuits to be
heard in Texas courts, and protect restaurants from frivolous "obesity lawsuits".
