Would you argue setting federal caps on medical malpractice claims, reducing malpractice ins cost?

[mate]

in turn reducing costs of procedures, would this be unconstitutional?

If not, what remedy would you offer to lower the rising cost of malpractice insurance?

[trucker]

No because the US Constitution does not give the federal government that authority. I would support such on a state level.

1) This cap has marginal effect at best, less than 2%. Put against the right of patients to recover damages from botched procedures performed by incompetent surgeons.

2) Not unconstitutional.

3) Since malpractice attorneys are usually contributors to liberal candidates, this is nothing more than a naked ploy to reduce campaign contributions to the opposition, since it is the republicans in congress who have been beating this dead horse for 30 years.

4) Try forcing medical boards to delicense incompetent surgeons before they end up like Jayant Mukundray Patel and killing hundreds of patients through their incompetence.

No because a doctor or nurse is a professional and should preform their job right. If they bought a Toyota product and the gas got stuck harming them, they would sue for the max. Is there any difference, I dont think so case dismissed next one please.
