Many healthcare providers give excellent healthcare service.  However, sometimes, these professionals become negligent toward their patients.

Also, because the bottom line can sometimes contribute to medical malpractices, including insurance companies placing pressures on doctors, or doctors worried over their malpractice premiums, the focus points toward the interests of insurance companies, doctors, and makers of medical devices rather than the patients' rights.

A great example of this is how the White House has supported a bill to place a $250,000 cap on non-economic damages such as pain and suffering and to decrease the financial rewards for attorneys who take a case based on a contingency fee.  The Democrats in the Senate successfully stopped this bill, showing their concern over the welfare of individuals who have already been harmed by medical malpractice. 

Individuals who were injured or had deaths in their families such as a John McCormack from Massachusetts have rallied against the cap.  His daughter, Taylor, at 13 months, died because of medical mistakes.
