To those who are willing to look at this objectively, please watch the link and read up on the Proposition itself. “Greedy” trial attorneys did not write this law to make more money. This proposition was written to ensure that a profession that is responsible for our health is held to the same standard as other professions. There is no “cap” on damages when it comes to legal malpractice and yet there is an antiquated cap of $250,000 of pain and suffering if a doctor commits malpractice and causes the death or severe injury to an individual. I urge everyone to look at both the Yes on 46 and No on 46 on their own to make a decision and don’t let the TV commercials be the only thing you listen to.
As far as money, the No on 46 coalition is mostly funded by insurance companies who say that “this will raise health costs” but are really just keeping all the money to themselves. Medical Malpractice Insurance rates have gone up more in CA than in states without this “cap” and yet somehow the trial attorneys are the ones to blame. The money raised by No on 46 will be astronomically higher than the Yes on 46 fund but hopefully money won’t be the deciding factor here.
