FWIW, the $54 billion is over 10 year period, or $5 billion per year. The $2 trillion is low for each year as the last years cost (2008) was $2.4 trillion. Do the math. Less than 1/2 of 1% of total costs. That includes all payouts, the good ones along with the “frivolous” ones.

“Tort reform” is nothing but a slogan to get the people riled up.
