Malpractice insurance hikes are correlated to interest rates, not lawsuit damages. So, yes I'm concerned about Cheney's distortions. I'm also concerned that this is an issue at all, seeing that it's structured around a false premise. The fact is that there are criminally negligent doctors out there who need to face consequences for their actions. Our justice system already requires that twelve jurors agree a doctor's been negligent, so we're left to quibble over a limit on the value of a human life?
