Thursday, July 10, 2003A simple comparison of the supply of physicians per capita between States that did and did not adopt a cap revealed that States with caps experienced a more rapid increase in their supply of physicians. In 1970, before any States had a law capping damage payments in malpractice cases, States that eventually adopted a cap and States that did not eventually adopt a cap had virtually identical levels of physicians per 100,000 citizens per county (69 vs. 67). Thirty years later in 2000, States that adopted a cap averaged 135 physicians per 100,000 citizens per county while States without a cap averaged 120. posted by Sydney on 7/10/2003 08:08:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
