Subject: RE: Medical Malpractce
I have to disagree with you on this point. The total of all medmal claims / payouts only account for roughtly 1% of the annual premiums brought in by medmal carriers. So, to say that it's the #1 reason med insurance is so high isn't correct.
Caps are also not going to help. The problem with frivilous lawsuites is with lawyers that will take any case and settle them for 5 or 10K a piece, take their fees and move on to the next. The high damage claims are usually with merit, and capping claims is only going to hurt those that have been seriously injured by negligence.
