[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2712556, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]He did refer to punitive damages, not compensatory damages. "Injured" parties could still sue but would be limited to what they could get for "pain and suffering." If nothing else, I'd bet that the malpractice insurance would see lower premiums for doctors and lawyers wouldn't be able to get so much money for their efforts. Not to pick on JB Books and a few others here, but anything that would limit lawyers that get more than the patient gets would be a benefit. Side benefit of tort reform of some kind would probably be lower medical costs, since the doctors wouldn't have to be paying so much. Why else are doctors flocking to states that have passed tort reform, like Texas? [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
