It was and is the best way to drop the cost of healthcare, and has also been a major contributing factor into the rising cost of healthcare.
So, lets hear it?

Actually less than 2% of costs (?), but there is some in there, care guidelines that make sueing harder.
Well if Pubs had cooperated IN ANY WAY, could have happened. Add it on anytime, along with a national exchange, ya lying POSs...LOL

Because you can't limit a doctor's liability until you can limit the amount of damage that doctor can cause by malpracting.
And the percentage of medical costs as a result of fraud are negligible

That's right, tort reform would save about 2% and that's it. It's not a magic bullet at all.

The best way healthcare costs could be driven down is if the US government did what the rest of the world does, negotiate healthcare cost with the providers. Public option is another good way. Of course these two options would save individuals and businesses a ton of money, but it'd involve the government and we all know that then it must be socialism ! Some people would rather go broke paying the highest cost in the world for healthcare by about double than have gubmit be involved in saving them lots of money.

Again very simple way of looking at the problem. The rising cost did not necessarily come from suits and torts, it comes from policies (as in running a gambit of expensive tests, expensive procedures, ordering very expensive treatments for when it is not necessary) and malpractice insurance that MD's, RN's, and hospitals all have to pay for.
If you are ever in the hospital, chances are you will be given Omeprazole, very expensive treatment, costs about $900 a month (taking it just once a day, at the hospital you will usually be taking it at least 2x daily). What for? For gastric reflux, possibly induced by the stress of being in the hospital, whether you have a history of gastric reflux or not, and whether or not gastric reflux can be considered a complication or minor inconvenience in your situation, whether or not you probably wont even suffer from gastric reflux while being in the hospital. So now you wipe out your stomach acid, your normal intestinal micro-biota has changed, also changing your bowel movements. Now the hospital is worried that there is a chance you might have contracted a noscomial infection like VRE. So the hospital puts you on very expensive anti-biotics to combat VRE, and very expensive broad spectrum anti-biotics, while they charge you (or your insurance) to run tests to rule out VRE. Now your normal flora all over your body is severely wiped out and you can only hope that this does not lead to an actual nasty, expensive and tough to treat noscomial infection.
This is just one example of the consequences of torts, and they chain reaction that they have caused in our healthcare system, and why the cost is rising so much. I can give you 20 different more examples like this off the top of my head alone, all of them consequences of our tort system.
Obama promised to include it in some form and claimed that he had talked to enough doctors to know that tort reform was an important issue. And then, a month after he said this he quietly reversed course and included a provision that actually discourages states from enacting tort reform.
That's right, tort reform would save about 2% and that's it. It's not a magic bullet at all.

Well done, you obviously have some background in this.

Yea I was the guy blending up stool samples, in a blender, making sure the patients didn't have VRE. Then when I got done work and went to grab food the kids in line behind me would say "eww mommy, I smell poop." I became immune to it, but the smell just kind of sticks to you and your clothes. Its all good now though, Im doing research on trees, not people anymore, and working on my doctorate; so no more poop smell all the time, just a lot of very, very, very boring research.
I think you went in the right direction!

The reason why is that by adopting British style evidence-based medical treatment plus standardized computerized medical records, having successful litigation against doctors is much less likely.
