State Tort Reform Illegal Under House Bill

Texas corrected one major problem a few years back to bring healthcare costs under control - they passed real tort reform. Unfortunately, the House Obamacare bill makes tort reform illegal:

Section 2531, entitled “Medical Liability Alternatives,” establishes an incentive program for states to adopt and implement alternatives to medical liability litigation. [But]…… a state is not eligible for the incentive payments if that state puts a law on the books that limits attorneys’ fees or imposes caps on damages.
