What is the "accepted thought" of this board? I, for one, have always been in favor of tort reform. The only question I had this week was about the overemphasis on it as a prime contributor to the problem. I don't see it as a dealbreaker, and I think Dean is absolutely right. If, as some studies have suggested, it isn't as large a percentage of the overall cost, then why add another group that will fight you. It's not pretty, but it sounds practical. Take them on later. I guess Dean's statement is shocking coming from a high ranking Dem, but I don't find it shocking in its content. Just refreshingly honest.
