I believe doctors already pay a huge percentage of their income on various malpractice premiums, license and board fees, staff overhead, office space, etc. I know that some doctors do "pro bono" charity clinic and missionary work in addition to their regular jobs.
I do believe there should be a cap on malpractice suits, beyond the actual expenses. Then, the malpractice premium cost could go down, and doctors could charge less for their services without even reducing their take-home income. Also, they would be less compelled to order "extra" unneeded tests which they do now to CYA against potential malpractice accusations.
