I read an article on caps for malpractice victims.  The guy is totally blind and has Cerebral Palsy because he was denied a medical test when he needed it.  What if his parents die and they have to put him in an institution.  We the taxpayers, because of their mistake, have to pay for the rest of his life.  Doctors should make medical decisions not insurance companies.

The law should be repealed.  The cap is outdated.  They should not limit settlements to $250,000,  they should get rid of it all together.  Doctors, Hospitals and their Insurance companies should be held accountable.  If they don’t pay the taxpayer gets the bill, taxpayers should not have to pay for mistakes of others.  If it’s just a slap on the wrist they might do it again.  Do we want them to keep doing this?  Make them think about it, they should make changes so bad things don’t happen again.  If they make fewer mistakes there would be fewer people with disabilities.

It’s time to change the law.

They should do a case by case basis because each case is a different circumstance.  People who are injured need the money to take care of them for the rest of their lives.  Juries and Judges should decide how much to award, not insurance companies who just want to make endless profit.  These same insurance companies will not give life insurance to disabled people.

There should be no caps on medical claims because what if the person ends up brain damaged or disabled,

they lost the life they would have had.  They’re going to be  disabled for the rest of their life.  They could have been the next president or invented a new kind of wheelchair.
