I guess I'm asking, what do we have _now_???? I'm all for weeding out the bad doctors. And sure, people who get injoured need to get some compensation.

But right now, what do we have? I don't see what we have working or helping anyone.

If Ma or the kid dies because the doctor is an idiot, will $100,000 or $10,000,000 make me feel any better? Not really, same difference. I got a bit of money, and one less family member. The bit of money don't matter all that much.

Will a $100,000 or $10,000,000 settlement against the doctor make any difference to him? Not really - it's paid by insurance, not out of his pocket.

So, to get even with or to weed out 'those bad doctors' raising the settlements or restricting the top amount of settlements really isn't going to matter.

If the goal is to get rid of bad doctors, we have to do it with something other than insurance claims.

We'd need to make the doctor pay out of his own pocket; make him stop practicing in this country; or something.

Just inflating settlement amounts ain't gonna get anything done but make us all pay more for medical coverage. I don't see how that helps solve any problems, or the medical services of this country, or the fabric of our society.....

Reducing settlement amounts ain't really going to make doctors any _worse_ than they are right now. It would make medical bills for all of us more affordable. I don't think we should _just_ reduce settlement amounts, but coupled with some other legeslation to contain bad doctors - it might not be a bad thing for the fabric of our country.

I don't expect things to change at all, actually. We will have high payouts, bad doctors, and skyrocketing medical bills for some time to come - the current system.
