9
years and counting; medical malpractice insurance companies continue to make
profits. As well they should. We live in a capitalist society and
these companies are in business to make money. Lots and lots of money.
Just
when they are disingenuous, or worse, that is wrong. For example,
claiming that there is a "medical malpractice" crisis in this
Country. There own reporting proves this is a canard.
“The report also states that while it isn’t possible to
quantify the benefits of tort reform on claims frequency and severity, caps on
non-economic damages, restrictions on joint and several liabilities, affidavits
of merit, non-admissibility of apologies, shortened statutes of limitations and
reductions in vicarious liabilities, these do not appear to have had a
positive impact in the various states that have adopted these reforms (emphasis
supplied).”
