Caps on Medical Malpractice Cases Exact a High Price

Caps on Medical Malpractice Cases Exact a High Price
Physicians and hospitals are seeing a decline in insurance premiums but at the cost of those injured by medical malpractice. Some claim the caps enacted nearly two and half years ago can be credited for the decline, but others believe the low prices will only depend on if the insurance companies turn a profit this year. The executive director of Texas Watch also worries that more patients are being injured because there is less accountability.
