Rising malpractice insurance premiums have spurred physicians to engage in protests and work stoppages and have generated calls for Congress to enact legislation to reform medical malpractice litigation by placing a limit on damage awards. A number of states have already passed legislation to limit noneconomic damages in malpractice awards. Congress is also considering capping these so-called pain and suffering awards. This article explores past and current medical malpractice insurance crises and discusses the pros and cons of limiting the amount of money an injured plaintiff can collect.
