The Cost of Tort

A new study from the Pacific Research Institute estimates the US tort system imposes wasteful cost of $865 billion. In terms non-billionaires can understand, this equates to almost $10,000 per family of four, and adds 3.4 million to the uninsured list.

Hence tort reform should probably be on the list of needed healthcare reforms.
