The promise was to support medical malpractice tort reform, not necessarily to enact it. During the 2014 special-election Senate term, Scott publicly backed a conservative health-care framework that included medical malpractice reform as a cost-control measure, and his Senate issue materials continued to list tort reform as a solution for defensive medicine costs and malpractice insurance rates. That satisfies the support commitment within the relevant federal office context.
