California State Cap Appealing

President Bush favors the cap on malpractice damages implemented by California:

"The Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act, or MICRA, supposedly has kept California malpractice premiums low in comparison with other states, without limiting access to the courthouse for deserving patients one bit. It also has purportedly put a leash on all those greedy and unscrupulous lawyers who pocketed the money that should have gone to patient care."

Though the caps have kept malpracitce premiums down, the author seems to think that they are not effective - maybe he's related to a malpractice attorney?
