I do the very best I can when I drive my car and 99% of the time I drive perfectly. If I cause an accident during the 1% of the time, by your standards, there should be caps on damages that can be awarded against me. How much sense does that make. Healthcare providers undertook a profession that they KNEW would cause injury or death if they made a mistake. Enacting limits on damages when every insurance executive in the country that has testified, says there are no frivolous medical malpractice claims of any significance. There are no objective statistics that would support your position and the Judge is correct any tort problems lie in trial judges not willing to "correct" emotional verdicts.
