Your Doctor Left New York. The Courtroom Is the Reason.
Malpractice insurance in New York costs $170,000 a year. In capped states: $50,000. Your family pays the difference.
Specialists are leaving New York because their malpractice insurance costs more than some of them earn. A specialist here pays approximately $170,000 a year. In states with caps, the same doctor pays around $50,000. That gap drives up your bills, lengthens wait times, and shrinks the number of doctors in your community.
Only 53 cents of every dollar in the tort system reaches the person who was actually injured. When Texas capped noneconomic damages in 2003, malpractice premiums dropped roughly 50%. Doctors who had left came back.
Your state can do the same. But only if enough people stand up.
