The Washington Examiner's Susan Ferrechio asks and answers twelve important questions on health reform today. The twelfth Q & A, about limiting medical malpractice costs, directly rebuts a point the president made on 60 Minutes, when he said "so far, the evidence I've seen is that caps will not [lower costs]." Actually, according to Ferrechio, there is such evidence: "In Texas, 2005 limits on damages in malpractice cases has led to a 27 percent decrease in malpractice premiums. An additional half-dozen states have cut frivolous suits through similar means."
