If the malpractice cap is raised or removed, the cost of insurance will eventually grow beyond physicians’ ability to pay, resulting in a critical loss of access to care when offices close due to lack of insurance. Narrow self interest will eventually sink the medical profession, so either save the cap, or warn people not to get sick.
