Medical Malpractice Caps?

I think people should know that people like George Bush and the Republicans are trying to impose medical malpractice caps on lawsuits for pain and suffering of limits up to $250,000. This includes injuries involving death, blindness, paralysis, loss of a limb, and many other horrific injuries that could happen to any of us. These people defend this in the name of health care costs; meanwhile, there are many studies which show there is no correlation between med mal insurance and lawsuit caps. People should know there are over 100,000 deaths attributed to medical malpractice – let alone all the people maimed by careless doctors, yet Bush and the Republicans support this, as they claim to support freedom and justice around the word. I’d like to know where is the justice to those innocent victims and families facing heartache due to medical malpractice – certainly 250k will not do the job. It will just promote more careless doctors to practice unsafe medicine.

How does any1 else feel?
