     Actually, it has to do with the recent rise in consumer 
  insurance rates, which were supposed to *down* if the 
  insurance companies got the tort reform they demanded. 
  So now the consumers get the worst of both worlds - 
  artificial limits on what damages a jury can award them,
  and higher insurance bills to boot. 

     There are a lot of us that are in a position to say "We told 
  you this would happen....."
