I looked. I don't think our views are particularly different. I'm not a big fan of litigation either.
What I was expressing (in the other post on the summit) was that tort reform is only a small economic piece of the current healthcare situation and NOT the end-all to reform as the Republicans have been claiming. (On a side-note, if it's so important to them, why didn't they pass it from 2000-2006?)
The President agreed with the Repubs that tort reform would save money, but opined that there are much bigger problems that need to be resolved first. I agree with that.
"(On a side-note, if it's so important to them, why didn't they pass it from 2000-2006?)" The administration tried, but couldn't get it past the Congress.

We both like Lincoln. Why not post this quote of his on your blog:
"Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this."
I have a different view of tort reform than you do. See www.MDWhistleblower.blogspot.com under Legal Quality

The Republican Congress? I didn't remember that. Interesting, especially in light of their current emphasis on its importance.
No, it was the Dems who opposed. As we are learning, the minority can obstruct.
