Lawyers and plaintiffs are part of the 'private sector' as are doctors and hospitals.

Courts aren't. Tort laws aren't.

The regulation, the tort laws, and rules and laws about courts, already exists. Changing it around with tort reform isn't the same as imposing a new type of regulation, and most often won't be increasing the impact of regulation.

Its a shift from unlimited awards to limited awards, and thus an increase in regulation.

Unlimited awards given by the courts, amount to a greater government impact, a greater amount of power for the government to intervene and at least in the broadest sense of the word regulate, than limited awards do. Not logic twisting, that's the simple fact. You apparently want to pretend that the tort system, isn't a government activity. Assume that, and yes tort reform would be increasing regulation, but its a false assumption.
