Studies Continue To Show Medical Malpractice Caps Are Not Working. As one would expect, studies of medical malpractice caps confirm that they discriminate against the retired and the unemployed (like homemakers). But there is another unsettling aspect of medical malpractice caps - they simply don't work. While leaving hundreds of severely and unfairly injured patients with an inadequate remedy, the caps don't reduce health care costs at all - the very reason given for their adoption [and even a constitutional amendment in Texas]. A University of Alabama study looked at 27 states that had enacted tort reform measures, and the study concluded "tort reforms have not led to health care cost savings for consumers." So why is there still a push for caps? Big business and insurance companies have found another way to fatten their profits by taking from the fatherless, the infirmed and the disabled.
