I find the amount of money being sucked out of the system by the malpractice attorneys to be excessive.

Those states who have limited the dollar amount of that 'compensation' do not seem to have more malpractice, either.

Oregon has limited the amount that can be recovered against its physicians at OHSU by statute; the same thing has been done in other States for all physicians/attorneys.  

Notice my previous post about how much money OTLA donates to our Legislators to keep that from happening here in Oregon.

Perfectly Constitutional under the US Constitution, too, to respond to your other post.  Oregon already has a $500,000 limit on non-economic damages that has passed Constitutional muster.
