As weve been telling you all morning long, the family of jahai mcman has found a facility that will care for the teenager despite doctors declaring her braindead. How jahais situation could impact state law and cases like her. Politics touches everything. One of the most interesting things about this subject. A group called consumer watchdog, since act october last year been collecting signatures to put a measure on the november 2014 ballot that would change the states medical mall practice law. The president of that group has seized upon the jahai mcman situation as an example of why the legal cause need to change in a recent letter to the states attorney general tom hard race, he wrote under a 38yearold law, the reform act that has never been the most a family can recover in court for the loss of a child is 250,000 no matter how dreamous the mall practice. By contract, the hospital would be responsible for a lifetime of care and care taking if the patient lives in this conflict of interest was no doubt never explained to the family. So what hes basically saying is that the state capped a mall practice suit insent vising according to his Group Consumer watchdog, the change to the state law would lift the cap from 250,000 to over 1 million would change that equation, result in better out comes for patients give us background, because it was the doctors that kind of revolted back in the 00s, saying if you dont cap p were not going to work in your state. The law was passed as a result of incredibly increasing year over year, 250 , 400 there were so many very large jury verdicts being handed down in medical mall practice cases. That is why governor jerry brown actually signed this act to begin with back in 1976. Police say it wasnt indexed for inflation. 250,000 then is over a Million Dollars now. Need to change this law. You talk about a ballot measure. Whats going to happen with that . Theyre still collecting signatures. They have until march 24th to collect 500,000 signatures. If this happens and it goes on the ballot, expect world war iii. Doctors groups, insurance groups say they expect to spend 250 million to defeat this measure. Its going to be a big fight.
