Group Health Coop. For the relevant text of section 3333.1, see the majority opinion, ante, at page 164, footnote 20. (Brown v. Merlo (1973) 8 Cal.3d 855, 861 [106 Cal.Rptr. Department of Nursing: DNP In rejecting a similar challenge to the periodic payment provision at issue in American Bank, we explained that "[i]t is well established that a plaintiff has no vested property right in a particular measure of damages, and that the Legislature possesses broad authority to modify the scope and nature of such damages. [13] Under the traditional collateral source rule, a jury, in calculating a plaintiff's damages in a tort action, does not take into consideration benefits such as medical insurance or disability payments which the plaintiff has received from sources other than the defendant i.e., "collateral sources" to cover losses resulting from the injury. Similarly, a person who has been hideously disfigured receives only noneconomic damages to ameliorate the resulting humiliation and embarassment. Amend. Depending on the relative size of a particular plaintiff's economic and noneconomic damages, the present limit might produce more or less harsh results than the Illinois statute. 1997 The Permanente Medical Groups form The Permanente Federation LLC to represent their shared interests in providing high-quality, affordable care. In the absence of any such apportionment, however, we conclude that the trial court properly determined that section 667.7 did not call for the periodic payment of this element of plaintiff's award. See, e.g., 2 Harper and James, The Law of Torts (1968 Supp.) FN 15. 158.) ), We believe that this was clearly a proper element of plaintiff's damages. 3 In Johnson v. St. Vincent Hospital, Inc., supra, 404 N.E.2d 585, 601, the Indiana Supreme Court upheld a $500,000 limit on total damages. If "fairness" can justify the present limit, it is hard to imagine a statute that could be invalidated under the majority's version of equal protection scrutiny. As the court explained in Dragovich v. Slosson (1952) 110 Cal.App.2d 370, 371 [242 P.2d 945]: "'Since a defendant or a party is not entitled to a jury composed of any particular jurors, the court may of its own motion discharge a qualified juror without committing any error, provided there is finally selected a jury composed of qualified and competent persons.'"

Hutcheson (1966) 114 Ga.App. As our language in American Bank itself suggests, our past cases make clear that the Legislature retains broad control over the measure, as well as the timing, of damages that a defendant is obligated to pay and a plaintiff is entitled to receive, and that the Legislature may expand or limit recoverable damages so long as its action is rationally related to a legitimate state interest. Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center and 539], it has been clear that the constitutionality of measures affecting such economic rights under the due [38 Cal.3d 158] process clause does not depend on a judicial assessment of the justifications for the legislation or of the wisdom or fairness of the enactment [i.e., the "adequacy" of the quid pro quo]. fn. There is no logically supportable reason why the most severely injured malpractice victims should be singled out to pay for special relief to medical tortfeasors and their insurers. Yet an intermediate test of equal protection has [38 Cal.3d 179] received frequent approval from many reputable sources. * Medical/dental/vision coverage * Supplemental medical coverage * Special dependent coverage * Vacation/holiday/sick/education time and leave (prorated to work schedule)* Retirement and savings plans * Relocation package * Professional liability coverage. We have conducted such an inquiry in all of these cases, and have found that the statutory classifications are rationally related to the "realistically conceivable legislative purpose[s]" (Cooper, supra, 21 Cal.3d at p. 851) of MICRA. Our physicians innovate every day for better outcomes for patients, supported by some of the most comprehensive disease registries in the world and an integrated health care model.

[38 Cal.3d 153], [6] Defendant next argues that the trial court erred in permitting the jury to award damages for the loss of earnings attributable to plaintiff's so-called "lost years," i.e., the period of time by which his life expectancy was diminished as a result of defendant's negligence. 374 [404 N.E.2d 585, 601]. Noneconomic injuries include not only physical pain and loss of enjoyment, but also "fright, nervousness, grief, anxiety, worry, mortification, shock, humiliation, indignity, embarrassment, apprehension, terror or ordeal." 1984) 672 S.W.2d 296, 297-298); others have upheld such limitations.

Insurance is a device for spreading risks and costs among large numbers of people so that no one person is crushed by misfortune. Each statutory classification "'"must be reasonable, not arbitrary, and must rest upon some ground of difference having a fair and substantial relation to the object of the legislation, so that all persons similarly circumstanced shall be treated alike."'" See generally Morris, Liability for Pain and Suffering (1959) 59 Colum.L.Rev. of Southeast Texas v. Baber, supra, 672 S.W.2d 296, a Texas appellate court invalidated a $500,000 limit that applied only to damages other than medical expenses. fn. Title / Specialty. 16, art. (See Stats. 274, 280.) Additional defense evidence indicated (1) that an EKG would not have shown that a heart attack was imminent, (2) that because of the severe disease in the coronary arteries which caused plaintiff's heart attack, the attack could not have been prevented even had it been known that it was about to occur, and finally (3) that, given the deterioration in plaintiff's other coronary arteries, the heart attack had not affected plaintiff's life expectancy to the degree suggested by Dr. Swan. 1412] [exclusion of daily wage earners]) defendant points to no authority which even remotely supports its claim that Kaiser members are a "cognizable class," and the record in this case provides no evidence to suggest that this group has the kind of shared experiences, ideology or background that have been identified as the sine qua non of such a class. etc. The seventh justice expressed no opinion on the merits of the constitutional challenge, but dissented from the result and pointed out that the plurality opinion did not decide the constitutional questions. The judgment is affirmed. Plaintiff went home but continued to experience intermittent chest pain. Workers in the healthcare department can earn an average of $105,653 per year. As we explained in those decisions, in enacting MICRA the Legislature was acting in a situation in which it had found that the rising cost of medical malpractice insurance was posing serious problems for the health care system in California, threatening to curtail the availability of medical care in some parts of the state and creating the very real possibility that many doctors would practice without insurance, leaving patients who might be injured by such doctors with the prospect of uncollectible judgments. However, as amici California Hospital Association and California Medical Association candidly admit, most large recoveries come in cases involving permanent damage to infants or to young, previously healthy adults. [7] We agree with defendant that the trial court was in error insofar as it interpreted section 667.7 as "discretionary" rather than "mandatory." 2620] [quoting from legislative history].).

However, I conditioned that rejection on the belief grounded in the past practice of this court that the alternative was a two-tier system with a meaningful level of scrutiny under the lower tier. As Justice Traynor explained in Werner v. Southern Cal. Broussard, J., Grodin, J., and Lucas, J., concurred. (Robison v. Atchison, Topeka & S. F. Ry. The idea of preserving insurance by imposing huge sacrifices on a few victims is logically perverse. Because of defendant's failure to raise the periodic payment issue earlier, plaintiff was deprived of the opportunity to seek a special verdict designating the amount of "future noneconomic damage." As with all of the MICRA provisions that we have examined in recent cases, the Legislature could properly restrict the statute's application to medical malpractice cases because the provision was intended to help meet problems that had specifically arisen in the medical malpractice field.

First, it is suggested that "[t]he Legislature could reasonably have determined that an across-the-board limit would provide a more stable base on which to calculate insurance rates." For poor plaintiffs, noneconomic damages can provide the principal source of compensation for reduced lifespan or loss of physical capacity. While many courts have concluded that fixed malpractice damage limits are grossly unfair (see cases cited ante, at p. 169), none has suggested the possibility of fairness as a legitimate basis for such a limit. After examining plaintiff and taking a history, Nurse Welch left the room to consult with Dr. Frantz.

Enacted in 1975 amidst a nationwide "medical malpractice crisis," it includes a number of provisions that seek to relieve healthcare providers and their insurers from some of the costs of medical malpractice litigation. 10 Although, to our knowledge, the lost years issue has not been previously decided in California, recovery of such damages is consistent with the general rule permitting an award based on the loss of future earnings a plaintiff is likely to suffer "because of inability to work for as long a period of time in the future as he could have done had he not sustained the accident."
