Obama mentions tort reform at the House GOP Event in Baltimore

President Obama: 'It's not enough if you say, for example, that we've offered a health-care plan.... But specifically, it's got to work. You know, if I'm told...that the solution to dealing with health-care cost is tort-reform--something that I've said I am willing to work with you on--but the CBO or other experts say to me, "You know, at best, this could reduce healt-care costs...by a couple of percentage points, or save $5 billion a year...and it will not bend the cost curve long-term or reduce premiums significantly," then you can't make the claim that that's the only thing that we have to do.'
