For many years now, large majority of states have enacted laws to restrict tort lawsuits in response to problems related to insurance. Despite these enforcement at the state level, all the gaps present in our current tort system is a proof that the federal government should be actively involved in the tort system regulation. I definitely think that tort reform should be implemented at the federal level. Why? Because the federal government is the one who can protect everybody interests the best. A federal implication will ensure that tort reform are universally implemented in the states and on a uniform way. A uniform tort reform will limit the ability of the plaintiff to choose the jurisdiction where the lawsuit is tried. If the law is conform within the whole territory, the plaintiff won’t have any other choice to stick to a same and general federal …show more content…
Also, the in the book the “Wrong of tort”, the author brought up Professor Patrick Atiyah great idea of a total reform of the tort system and rather the use of money involve in tort to improve a social security and services benefits. This structure will be in charge to allocate funds directly to plaintiffs. Such system will help to avoid direct relationship between both parties which will limit the amount of frivolous lawsuits within the system.
Atiyah argument is one of the strongest arguments of the whole book according to me. The only way to fix problems in our actual tort system is not to limit the amount of money that a party can get, it’s rather to use that money efficiently. The federal government has to take long term solutions to address issues in the current tort system. We can’t count on states to address these issues because states legislators often prioritize individual group’s interests rather than the population needs. The federal government should act otherwise nothing will change.

    Federalism in the constitution helps guard against tyranny by giving neither the state or central government enough power to tyrannize. According to Doc. A, “James Madison, Federalist Paper #51, 1788”, “power...is first divided between two distinct governments” Also in the Venn diagram on Doc A neither the state or local government possesses all the power.

    federal statue was a enormous step forward in the expansion of healthcare coverage in America, but it simultaneously was a bulky set back when evaluating healthcare transparency. A large issue with our multi-payer system is its lack of transparency. Healthcare has become so complicated that people are not able to comprehend what the plans they should pay for.

Lack of transparency also means that providers do not have to compete on price or quality because most people do not know basic information about the cost of healthcare.…
