As reported by the New York Times in “Obama Open to Reining in Medical Suits” — “In closed-door talks, Mr. Obama has been making the case that reducing malpractice lawsuits — a goal of many doctors and Republicans — can help drive down health care costs, and should be considered as part of any health care overhaul, according to lawmakers of both parties, as well as A.M.A. officials.” One positive factor for reformers: presidential aide Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel has written that there is “no doubt” that “monumental change” in the malpractice system is called for.

In 2004, Obama was quoted as saying, “Anyone who denies there’s a crisis with medical malpractice insurance is probably a trial lawyer”.
All who support this relief should be very careful. Caps on medical malpractice trial verdicts hurt the injured patients and their families. Why should someone tell you that your life is only worth X dollars?
