Multiple states have reformed medical malpractice already, and they have seen very little change in health care costs.
Why should we trade legal rights when we have nothing to gain by doing so?

Lawyers make the rules and the "changes". And guess who gets screwed? US.
There will never me REAL tort reform politicians are lawyers

Because real tort reform would reduce costs. Doctors currently runs unnecessary tests out of fear. The cost of those tests add up. If you can't see that then I say you don't want to for some reason.

Reforming medical malpractice would only be a PART of health care reform that didn't involve a public option. Why would we want to create an even partially taxpayer funded public option instead of addressing the root causes behind skyrocketing costs, many of which were brought on by government interference in the health care sector to begin with?

I think it's an ideological position. There is a culture of hurtful revenge against those moneyed elites pay. It's a lot easier to convince people are how they are being screwed by small town doctors than it is by big corporations.
I think it's also because more than half (51 percent) of Americans admit that they don't understand the issues involved in health care reform. The other 49% are lying.
