Mr. Michels authors an article, Patient Safety vs. Corporate Profits

Mr. Michels authors an article, "Patient Safety vs. Corporate Profits: MICRA - A Slap on the Wrist; A Slap in the Face," published by the Advocate magazine discussing MICRA, a $250,000 imposed cap on general damages in medical malpractice. The cap, which has remained the same since 1975, is one of the most unconscionable abuses committed against victims of medical negligence. Mr. Michels explains that preventable medical mistakes are the sixth largest cause of death in the United States, yet the attention brought to this epidemic is minimal. He also discusses the constitutional challenge to MICRA and his support for the MICRA cap change.
