I really believe that the issues of malpractice claims
can be solved with a relatively easy solution.
Medical malpractice claims should be rated just as
Workers Compensation claims are. That is, each body part is equivalent to a sum of money and awards are based on the percentage of disability. Medical treatment for the body part is dispensed throughout the lifetime of the claimant. If a claimant wants to settle, they have the option to negotiate a
settlement. If this type of monetary reward is good
enough for Workers Compensation claims, it should be fine for medical malpractice claims. There is no need for a subjective award for pain & suffering and the award will only pay for a specific injury and/or death.
There is absolutely no reason the for the state to pay for any of the premiums because that would mean the tax payers would be paying for it. This is a very slippery slope as businesses wishing to operate in Maryland may ask for the state to pay for part of their insurance costs.
