They stated that one of their previous reports could not find enough evidence from states that had instituted tort reform that it had a significant effect, but they also mentioned reports from others that estimated a 7% to 9% drop in spending. Why they would estimate around $4.5 billion in savings to the government without at least a corresponding percentage savings to everyone else doesn't make much sense to me.

Well that's just it, you can spin those numbers all day long, and you still come up with no savings for consumers.
