David Dewhurst on Health Care

 


Reduce medical lawsuit abuse clogging our court system

Just a short time ago, the Wall Street Journal dubbed Texas the "lawsuit capital of the world," Doctors and health care professionals fled from Texas, and frivolous lawsuits crippled economic development in our state. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst took on the powerful trial lawyer money machine and passed groundbreaking tort reform legislation to reduce lawsuit abuse clogging our court system. Dewhurst has successfully fought tort reform rollbacks in every legislative session since.
