Chapter 1, Problem 5CR

There has been, and continues to be, significant debate in the State of Indiana about the law of medical malpractice.  Some view the law as too restrictive in the amount of compensation an injured patient can receive.  Others view the law as a burden on medical providers that drives up the cost of medical care and hurts the retention of qualified medical providers in our communities.  If Indiana were to do away with the cap on damages that a patient could receive for an injury caused by a medical malpractice, do you believe that would be a good change to the law or a negative change?  Would the impact on medical providers outweigh the benefit to patients?  Why or why not?
