U.S. House backs limits on malpractice suits
By Joanne Kenen 45 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House of Representatives on Thursday approved medical malpractice legislation that would limit awards in lawsuits for pain and suffering to $250,000.
I can honestly say that if a doctor amputated the wrong leg, or if a doctor caused me any permanent disfigurement or disability due to incompetence (say he or she was drinking at the time or was not qualified to perform the procedure...) that $250,000 would be nowhere near enough. Maybe Congress thinks that $250,000 is a lot of money and it's somehow like winning the jackpot, but they are all a bunch of f#ckers to me. And where in this bill is a guarantee that my medical bills are going to go down??? I guarantee that they won't.
