  • Yes it would lower malpractice insurance costs for individual doctors but that doesn't mean it would lower health ware costs for all of society. If bad doctors face less consequences for medical mistakes there would be more medical mistakes. And medical mistakes are extremely expensive to correct or treat. It is much cheaper to have a few lawsuits by comparison and get that bad doctor out of medicine so he can go and get his real estate license.Medical boards don't usually take action unless there is malpractice litigation going on and many lawyers wont take cases if there is such a small cap on damages. So the bad doctor would continue being a doctor and making medical mistakes which would in turn cost all of us a boatload of money.Besides that tort laws are fair. If I take my car to a mechanic and he forgets to screw in the log nuts he has to pay for fixing my car. If I take my body to a doctor and he messes it up shouldn't he have to be the one to pay to fix it?
