Apparently, California has the cap - and it seems to work very well.
A different story than 'sue doctors for poor medical outcomes' which is what is happening now.
There is a huge difference.
It's not right for these lawyers to win life's lotteries from other people's misery. They are just greedy people. They don't need all that money. The government should stop these rich trial lawyers. (That would be the solution if trial lawyers supported Republicans).

"I don't really have any serious ailments, but I just want to be on the safe side in case they stop working for a while," she said.
Unbelievable.
It would be interesting to check the death rates if the doctors walk out. I seem to remember a doctor walkout in California a while back where the death rate went down when the docs were on strike.
If the oath is, "First, do no harm," then if they don't see you they can't do any harm to you. So in a sense, not practicing their profession is living up to their oath.
I only hope your diatribe was rhetorical because if you really meant what you said, you're on the wrong website.
If any doctor reports his house on fire, tell him the firemen are not in today.
Awww, cyni, that's hardly an analogy, but good try. ;^)
And of course, the scumbag Democrats are in the pocket of the scumbag trial lawyers so....
Mr. Rasmussen said the governor favored the creation of a subsidy program to help those doctors who face the steepest increase in premiums.
.....so bend over, taxpayers, LOFL!!!
New Jersey is such a liberal toilet....
Mr. Rasmussen said the governor favored the creation of a subsidy program to help those doctors who face the steepest increase in premiums.WOW, an income redistribution scheme that benefits doctors? Unfriggingbelievable!!
McGreevy must really be a slimebag.
Back when I was younger, my friends struck the FAA, doctor friends were outraged. They could'nt do that etc etc. That was a different horse...
In fact some demanded they all be fired for "withhholding a needed public service". Reagan did just that. They deserved to be fired. If a doctor wishes to walk out, fine thats his right, just suspend his license for 30 days. He does not have to work if he does not want to.
Now Rooster, don't get confused as to the order in which anyone is forced or obligated to work or not.
The medical profession enjoys "total" protection from competion from many areas of other providers. For this they have no "contract" and no obligation, legal or otherwise???? Well, ok so be it.
How is one to square with the Federal government, legally forcing union workers to work against their wishes???? They have a right to strike, yet are forced to work. This is done because it is deemed to be harmful to the public welfare.
The doctors do not mind that the longshoremen, miners or whomever are forced to work. I suspect the difference here is that we are discussing a government protected profession vs the common man. The socialists realize this and exploit it, yet republicans and conservatives wonder why the common worker supports and votes for democrats.
The government does not protect the longshoremen from competion, yet recently they were forced to work against their will.
As for the FAA, I had retired the year before the strike. My friends were stupid for striking, yet they were fired for withholding their service, which no one else could provide, all in the name of public safety.
Personally, I am with the doctors but once again, they have shirked their obligation to society to open the medical field to others, refused to call for an increase in the supply of doctors, and why??? Because they have a lock on their clients because of the government. If they want to withhold their service, fine with me but I would suspend their licence, no other profession or employee has such protection. None, absolutely none.
