THE DETAILS START COMING - AT 5:20 P.M. ET:  Hat tip to Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit for this:

It figures. The Pelosi Plan will punish states that limit trial lawyers’ winnings.
Capital Confidential reported this at Big Government:

Section 2531, entitled “Medical Liability Alternatives,” establishes an incentive program for states to adopt and implement alternatives to medical liability litigation. [But]…… a state is not eligible for the incentive payments if that state puts a law on the books that limits attorneys’ fees or imposes caps on damages.

Tort reform could save the country $54 billion.
So it only makes sense that democrats would oppose it.

COMMENT:  The nation is likely to be stunned when the details of this 2,000-page life-and-death bill start to come out.  And the American people will be justifiably furious at "journalists" who have not reported those details.

There's a reason why the bill is 2,000 pages, and it has nothing to do with getting X-rays.  One fundamental principle of leftist politics is to overwhelm the system - to paralyze it with paperwork, costs and dependents - in the hope of bringing it down and replacing it.  That's what you're seeing in action.
