Shakespeare had the right idea.
Oh Hell yes you will. If they pass a government health care plan like single-payer, the FIRST thing they will do is cap malpractice awards because it will be coming out of THEIR pockets now.
The whores are also destroying our country so they can line their own pockets.
Exactly.
"The First Thing We Do, Let's Kill All the Lawyers" Dick the Butcher, Henry the IV, Part Two. Dick the Burcher was a follower of anarchist Jack Cade, whom Shakespeare depicts as "the head of an army of rabble and a demagogue pandering to the ignorant," who sought to overthrow the government.
So that's what a demagogue pandering to the ignorant does, when he wants an overthrow - kind of like you, in making this post.
Dick Durban said the Banks own Congress.

Tells us what happened in 1913 and how it has totally screwed us up. We are NOT a democratic republic , , , the USofA is a Corporation as of 1913. And a Corporation doesn’t have to have a NBC as president and ceo.
We have been pwned by 1913 aristocrats and oligarchs.
So where is the constitutional power for the federal government to do this?
Besides, if conservatism is based upon accepting individual responsibility, how is a malpractice cap in any manner a conservative solution? All you do in enforcing a cap is to transfer the responsibility away from the negligent party to the public domain. For example - say you cap damages at $1,000,000, and the cost to the person who had been harmed will be $15,000,000. Who pays the rest? All you do is put the malpractice victim into dependency upon government programs. How is this a good solution?
“The whores are also destroying our country so they can line their own pockets.”
Bingo!
Bribes do pay off see congress and senate members who are lawyers.
Never say never. But your chart, plus the fact that allot of the elected officials are lawyers.... it is highly unlikely unless we, the peasants (to them), demand it.
you assume the cost is 15 million dollars when it’s just a way to get more $ from other people
correction: it will be coming out of your pockets
Yes, the assumption is the case is worth $15,000,000 and the damages are capped at $1,000,000.
If you are saying that there can be no case worth $15,000,000 (They’re are), then lets say the person injured by malpractice will lose $2,000,000 in future lost wages and will have to pay $2,000,000 in future medical bills - total of $4,000,000 in hard economic damages. If the cap is $1,000,000, then the injured person will be short their expected income and will not be able to pay thier medical bills to the tume of $3,000,000.
Now why don’t you answer the questions - (1) How is it conservative to absolve the actor for the consequences of his or her bad actions, just because of a license to practice medicine, and (2) Why is it good to make an injured person dependent upon public benefits?
