Subject:
States punished in H.R. 3962: OBAMACARE

To:
Sen. John Cornyn

November 3, 2009

Section 2531 of H.R. 3962 establishes an incentive program for states to adopt and implement alternatives to medical liability litigation.

"A state is not eligible for the incentive payments," reads the bill, "if that state puts a law on the books that limits attorneys' fees or imposes caps on damages."

In other words, states that have the nerve to rein in frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits — and that's 85% of them, according to a Harvard study — would be punished if they also established medical courts where health care experts, rather than untrained juries, settle injury disputes based on actual medical science.
