Opinion Piece Supports Lifting Medical Malpractice Cap
In a Sacramento Bee opinion piece, Robert Pack -- founder of the Troy and Alana Pack Foundation and leader of 38istoolate.org -- writes that since California implemented a cap on medical malpractice damages over 30 years ago, the "sad story" in the state has been "physicians largely unwilling to police themselves, regulators turning a blind eye to available information about dangerous doctors and a lack of legal deterrence to medical negligence." Pack writes that he is working with Consumer Watchdog on a ballot initiative to raise the cap.
