TORT REFORM AND COSTS

On a Politico thread, someone asked if French doctors can be sued for malpractice and no one had the answer. This article in the WSJ indicates that they can:

In France, "If you are in medical care for the money, you'd better change jobs," says Marc Lanfranchi, a general practitioner from Nancy, an eastern town. On the other hand, medical school is paid for by the government, and malpractice insurance is much cheaper.

There may be a limit on awards but that wasn't mentioned.
