American Association for Justice (AAJ) President Les Weisbrod discussed President Obama’s healthcare plan on CNBC Reports with Dennis Kneale. Weisbrod details how patient safety must be a top priority in health care reform, but that limiting the legal rights of patients will do nothing to lower health care costs or aid the uninsured. You can watch the video [HERE].
I agree with Mr. Weisbrod. There is no relationship between where doctors practice and the states where there are no caps on medical malpractice verdicts. The important aspect of this debate to remember is that the seriously injured patient deserves the right to a jury trial under the Seventh Amendment and in my opinion that includes the right to be free from some limitation on the verdicts awarded.
