But while limits on pain and suffering, tighter controls on punitive damages etc. might be useful, the real reform that is needed may be a reform of our legal culture. That isn't something that can simply be imposed in a top down manner, even on a state by state basis. I'm not sure how you get there from here. Me neither. I have a doctor friend that moved to New Zealand to practice. Malpractice insurance was so cheap the government just picked it up for him... like less than $200 a year or something. He said people just didn't sue each other in New Zealand.
