It’s been a long time coming. Almost a year ago exactly, a Cook County Circuit Court Judge declared Illinois' cruel 2005 caps law unconstitutional. The case went to the state Supreme Court, with oral arguments slated for tomorrow morning. We don't need to repeat why this law must be struck down (see here, here, and all over our blog). It is unlawful, cruel and harmful to the most vulnerable patients, and does not alleviate malpractice insurance costs. Hopefully, the High Court follows the lead of previous decisions and puts patients' rights over Big Insurance.
