In this ARRP Bulletin "FaceOff" commentary, Randall R. Bovbjerg argued that conventional tort reform like caps on awards successfully limit the scope of the current system and reduce physicians' premiums--but do not compensate more people, improve deterrence or equitably spread the impact of their cutbacks. True improvement calls for more even-handed tort reforms, and for experiments with non-courtroom-based injury resolution by medical institutions, health plans or states, perhaps even by Medicare.
