This is the most idiotic thing the administration can possibly do. Now they are saying the most you can get if you are teh victim of malpractice is 250,000 for pain and suffering.
Think about this. If malpractice by an OBGYN results in the death of a mother during childbirth (which yes still happens in reare cases)....the most that father and child would be entitled to is 250,000
As a future physician I think this is absolute idiocy. If dr. makes mistake he's liable for it..there are no excuses and his malpractice insurance should be charged in a manner that fully compensates the patient.
And a limit of 250,000 does not even come close to compensating some of the things that these ppl go through.
You can only claim economic losses on top of the 250,000 which in most cases is lost wages. ....so 250,000 plus lost wages..and you've been horribly impacted by a doctors error. .......utter crap.
This policy is not holding dr's to their jobs which is to complete any course of treatment with skill, and responsibility.
