Malpractice limits exist in some jurisdictions in the US. Studies have shown that they do not have meaningful effects on the cost of liability insurance or the practice and cost of healthcare.  (Which kind of makes sense: the limits are always adopted to prevent what are seen to be &quot;extreme&quot; awards which are awarded -- from the perspective of proponents of the limits -- by runaway courts&#x2F;juries, or -- from the perspective of opponents -- for the most egregious incidents of malpractice; these make up a very small share of all awards and have a negligible effect on either a practitioner&#x27;s or an insurer&#x27;s exposure. You&#x27;d have to limit malpractice awards at a level that would affect <i>common</i> and <i>uncontroversially warranted</i> awards to have a meaningful effect.)
