Well Sen. Santorum SUPPORTS medical malpractice caps be placed on pain &
suffering for $250,000. OK a point we have to look at and do some serious debating. BUT.... Senator Santorum's WIFE had and 'issue' with a Chiropractor and SHE and the good Senator sued the Doc for MORE than $250,000 for the PAIN & SUFFERING Mrs. Santorum SUFFERED from the Chiropractor's APPARENT malpractice. BUT for us peasants we NEED those malpractice caps. BUT Senators' needs are different?

I don't know about the case you cite, or if it's even true.
However, Santorum, you, and I all are all equal under the current malpractice laws. From your description thewy received an awqard that was legally allowable. If malpractice caps are legislated, he, you , and I will still be equal in the eyes of the law. We will all potentially receive awards that are less than before. So where is the inequity against which you rail? Is he exempting himself from future limitations? Larry On Tue, 15 Jul 2003 17:47:05 -0400, "Karl" >Well Sen.

That is why there is NO no-fault insurance in medical care, and morbidity and mortality discussions are secret. They are secret because they are aimed at making sure no one knows what goes on. -- George Conklin, Durham, NC: Medicare For All Ages If HMOs ran the post office, the AMA (American Mail Association) would declare that getting mail was a privilege, not a right and 43 million Americans would get no mail delivery.
