My solution: Impose a windfall profits tax (50 %) on all attorney fee awards of more than $100,000 where the rate works out to more than $300/hr. Place the funds in a government-operated pool used to replace malpractice insurance for physicians working in communities of 250,000 or below, as well as insurance for local government entities, boy scouts and girl scouts, etc. Oh, and make it retroactive to 1990.
Sure, this is absolutely contrary to the limited government principles I espouse. But I don't see better options available.
Sounds like a greast plan to me! Getting it passed would require a revolution, I'm afraid. Is the doctor exodus a form of revolution? Sounds like it is.
