I saw this on the news, and I about threw my TV out the window. I can understand some people believing that capping malpractice awards to help lower insurance rates, but this is just insane. They expect ALL people who are victims of malpractice to be content with $1.5 million. In my own opinion, that will probably NOT cover medical costs of the more severe malpractice suits. Also, if the suit leaves you bedridden, does $1.5 million really justify it? It's wrong to just blanket every single case with this awarding, since it's proper to have every case be judged on its own.
