she says the new HC bill has tort reform. It is true that section 2531 addresses medical liability alternatives in the form of incentives to states that enact alternate liability law, but only if those states comply with paragraph 4 of the section. Paragraph 4 reads:

(4) CONTENTS OF ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL LIABILITY LAW. - The contents of an alternative liability law are in accordance with this paragraph if --
(A) the litigation alternatives contained in the law consist of certificate of merit, early offer, or both; and
(B) the law does not limit attorneys fees or impose caps on damages.

The bolding is mine. The whole problem with medical malpractice is the outrageous money attorneys rake in and the money juries are awarding to victims. So paragraph 4 basically killls any real tort reform.
