I find it interesting that states across the country are passing caps, but the amounts are so different. How is this justified? One thing is for certain…Caps will bring medical malpractice rates down (see: http://www.equotemd.com/blog)
My wife recently went into Salem Hospital with a swolen neck and breathing difficulties. the Hospital failed to monitor her breathing and she suffocated on the cat-scan table infront of myself and 3 techs. The thechs let her sit there for 2 minutes dying and insisted that she was breathing when she was not. The nurse finally came back into the room and I told her that she was not breathing, the nurse confirmed it and my wife went without oxygen for 4 and a half minutes. My wife now has a life long disability called myoclonus (not very pretty)wich could have been prevented by a timely CPR and she may have never suffocated at all if she had been hooked up to an oxcimeter. We have a long road ahead of us, but how can you put a cap on the enjoyment of life. things like walking will be difficult for her. At 25 years old, my wife will spend the next few years with physical therapy. BTW, she warned them for 20 mins that she could not breath while on her back and they didn’t believe her. After 15 minutes of intense CPR and a cardiac arrest, they finally believed her, but a little too late.
How does Long Term Care (LTC) insurance fit in the longevity puzzle? http://www.healthcaretownhall.com/?p=3433
