    How are caps unconstitutional? If caps are unconstitutional, then mandatory government health care certainly is!

    A government of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers, to paraphrase a lawyer.

    Read the decision for yourself to see how they are unconstitutional. Il Constl says juries (i.e. the people) determine damages thru the legal process (i.e. the judicial branch). How can the legislative branch take that away and say “we have decided how much you can award”. That is why it’s unconsitutional.
    People need to take a constitution class….

    The AMA is the leading cause of the shortage of medical care. By limiting access to training and med schools, American doctors are guaranteed to become millionaires. Yet, one of the leading causes of death in America is med mal. Putting on cap on the damages for professional malpractice makes as much sense as putting one on drunk driving to protect the alcohol industry. Doctors just have better lobbyists.
