medical malpractice caps

[Giant Saguaro]

I am not for dismissing malpractice cases, but I am definitely for putting a cap on awards. If someone has a gripe or a serious grievance, it should be heard. If there was negligence, then an award is in order because a patient is trusting a doctor or physician to provide the appropriate care, and if he/she can't, then who can you trust? But I'm not for awarding millions and millions for everyone who screams malpractice. Lots of states are facing this problem and there are too many people who will sue for as much as they can get, just to get rich because someone made a mistake, and it's at the expense of everyone else, in the end. Definitely caps.

I'm not sure if this would help Bush or Kerry, assuming Bush would be for caps or throwing out malpractice suits and Kerry is not putting caps on awards. I would like to think that people would side with Bush and realize that, like unions that get out of control, a handful of people are damaging the entire state/country.
