The actual number of malpractice suits that go over the top is really miniscule, it is simply the insurance company propoganda so they can jack up the rates. If you were to wind up in a wheel chair at age 25 due to some doctor's negligence do you believe a cap of say $150,000 would be fair and would keep you for say the next 40 years?
