Tort Reform Caps On Pain and Suffering

Caps on pain and suffering, do they work? That is, do caps reduce the cost of health care as the medical profession claims? The simple answer is no. Texas has had the $250k cap on pain and suffering. It has had no effect of health insurance rates. It has not reduced the cost of health care in the state. The only thing it has done is limit the rights of persons injured by medical malpractice.
