 States that have not enacted Tort Reform legislation tend to have a higher cost of professional medical liability insurance than states that do.Opponents of tort reform legislation often reference the story of Frank Cornelius, whose New York Times op-ed piece, "Crushed by My Own Reform," told of allegedly negligent procedures performed by his physicians.In 1975, Cornelius had fought for damage caps, but he later came to repent of his role in that campaign.
