5. Why would one wish to reduce a punishment for criminal neglect?
"Tort - any private or civil wrong by act or omission for which a civil suit can be brought, but not including a breach of contract."

How does the protection of criminals from civil justice improve our health care system? Why should a doctor not fully pay for damages caused by his or her malpractice?

Perhaps this is really contort reform.
