Texas and Florida are leading in tort reform, Boom Belt success
Texas and Florida are leading in tort reform, bringing more business and economic growth to southern Boom Belt states, the Texas Conservative Coalition Research Institute (TCCRI) and The James Madison Institute (JMI) argue.TCCRI was founded in 1996 by a group of state leaders determined to implement conservative public policies in state government based on the principles of limited government, individual liberty, free enterprise and traditional values. Florida-based JMI is dedicated to the ideals of limited government, economic freedom, federalism and individual liberty coupled with individual responsibility.
Their new joint report argues, “Texas’ and Florida’s economic dominance is the direct result of multi-decade efforts to create a predictable civil justice environment. These reforms spurred the business investment, population growth, and capital inflows that define the Boom Belt.”
They also argue this competitive edge “is under threat” by trial lawyer organizations. In Florida, the Florida Justice Association is targeting pro-business politicians to unseat in state legislative races, the JMI argues.
In Texas, plaintiff-aligned groups are funding candidates and PACs to weaken reforms the state legislature has implemented, TCCRI argues.

Big story, Lynn. Huge fraud in Florida. You oughta write about it.
When it comes to trying to rip off the government, the latest U.S. Department of Justice crackdown accuses Floridians and their conspirators for going bigger than most.
Officials are calling the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown announced Tuesday, June 23, which snared 455 defendants in 45 U.S. states and territories, the biggest in U.S. history. It involves more than $6.5 billion in health care fraud, the majority it Medicare and Medicaid, and significant harm including a student’s death after a doctor fraudulently executed a cardiovascular test that cleared the student to play.
No state shows up on the list quite like Florida. One Florida arrestee was charged in a case involving $3.7 billion in false claims to Medicare, Medicaid and other insurers — more than half the total amount of fraud represented in the Justice Department's total of fraudulent claims.
Yes, in 45 states. Happy our National Health Care Fraud Dept is on the ball. “This year’s National Health Care Fraud Takedown represents the greatest whole-of-government effort to combat health care fraud in our Nation’s history,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Under the decisive leadership of President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, and our law enforcement partners, this administration has ushered in a new era of enforcement that will safeguard taxpayer dollars.”
anony concentrate on blue states that constantly fu*k things up.
Someone should do an investigation on how these people were able to get away with this so long and whether the DeSantis administration ignored things.
@3:36...at the same time you want to spend taxpayer money, they also would need to investigate the other 45 states. We now have a Trump team investigating Medicare/Medicaid fraud. Think of the thousands of corrupt doctors.
