This is our final project for our healthcare law class. It is about medical malpractice and focuses on the controversy behind caps on non-economic damages. We tried to make it engaging, interesting, and educational. Enjoy!

In his healthcare townhall meeting in New Hampshire, President Obama states that surgeons get paid 000-000 to amputate a limb in diabetic patients. First of all he is way off base regarding the money paid to surgeons because in the hospital where I work I frequently cant find a surgeon to do the amputation. THey obviously don't get paid much especially in a potentially high risk surgery. Why doesn't he talk about medical legal liability reform/tort reform to help reduce costs? Is he being lobbying by the trial attorneys- Oh no way! Maybe if the surgeon didn't have to pay so much in malpractice the cost of this patients care could be less. Lastly how can he discuss healthcare reform adequately when he gets facts severely wrong.
