If tort reform is a liberal idea, why are so many Dems against it? Because they are lawyers perhaps?
"Direct tort costs account for almost 2 percent of GDP in the United States—that's the highest in the world," said McQuillan. "These high costs impact American businesses when firms have to divert revenue to fight lawsuits. But all of us ultimately shoulder the burden through higher prices and insurance premiums, lower wages, restricted access to health care, less innovation, and higher taxes to pay for court costs."
"If lawmakers want to put people back to work, without costing taxpayers another penny for so-called 'stimulus', they should enact needed lawsuit reform," added Abramyan. "Job growth was 57 percent greater in the 10 states with the best tort climates than in the 10 states with the worst tort climates."

Yeah, all lawyers are liberals.
I have worked for lawyers for 30 years and most of them in Georgia are Republicans.
You may want insurance companies running the courts in your state but we have that here and it doesn't work.
I prefer a jury.
You may want only 250K in damages capped if a loved one is killed by a doctor in your state if they have no economic damages but I value the life of others a little higher than 250K.
Republicans support insurance companies as well as Democrats.
Conservatives support the jury system and fear the power of government when they take away the rights of citizens.
Something about the US Constitution, a document founded on LIMITING THE POWER of government and DEFENDING the rights of individual citizens.
Sad that most Americans have no knowledge of their own founding laws.
You have confused conservatives with Republicans.
