Breaking economic principles down to a level so basic that they are meaningless.

If you tell me that the legal system doesn't do a particularly good job of that, I might agree, but the reforms proposed -- esp. limiting pain and suffering awards -- don't address the problem. Trial lawyers are filling a need.

Yet another middle ground that seems to elude all sides in this debate... why don't us Rs start demanding better policing of doctors? I don't have a problem with damage caps (and, in fact, I'm pretty much in favor of them across the board), but what's the point of any of this if we can't get the medical regulators (at the state level?) to start pulling licenses and taking names for the ones who are charged with more than a simple mistake?
