You want affordable care? Pass a "Good Samaritan" law for doctors so they can't be sued by cry-babies that don't understand that sometimes, people die; even when we don't want them to.
Watch "Malpractice Insurance" become a thing of the past.
Then, make sure doctors are reading the Hippocratic Oath, every day.
There's your affordable health care.

Why not cap malpractice compensation instead? For those people who have lost a family member or have had major impacts on their lives through malpractice, your plan negates their compensation. If a Dr. comes in drunk and fucks up your surgery, shouldn't there be some form of punishment to the Dr. and compensation for the patient or the patient's family?

Malpractice happens. Things do go wrong, too, and that's not necessarily the same as malpractice.

Capping compensation would reduce malpractice insurance, wouldn't it? I'd also make the not monetary punishments harsher, too.
