Ed Morrissey at Hot Air points out that the CBO estimates tort reform for health care would reduce the federal budget deficit by $54 billion over the same 10 years it says the Senate’s health care bill will reduce it by $80 billion (which is doubted elsewhere). Tort reform is not in the Senate bill — nor the House’s H.R.3200 — but it would almost double the claimed savings of the bill. Follow the money.
