Abstract
This article seeks to uncover the truth behind America’s current health care emergency. In so doing, the causes behind escalating medical malpractice premiums over the past decade will be examined; attention will be focused on the issue of whether caps on non-economic damages have been successful in reducing insurance premiums in states where they have been implemented. Finally, an alternative approach than that taken by President Bush, Congressional Republicans, the American Medical Association, and the insurance industry, will be propounded.
