OBAMACARE DOESN’T LIMIT MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CLAIM
by
A New Jersey judge has ruled that defendants in a medical malpractice case may not rely on the Affordable Care Act to limit the claim for future medical expenses. The court ruled that possible contributions or reimbursements due to Obamacare cannot be taken into consideration when calculating future medical expenses as it may not be law in the future.
The defendants’ Motion to Limit Future Medical Expenses due to the Affordable Care Act failed because the defendants could not show that there is a reasonable certainty that the Plaintiff will be covered by Obamacare or private health insurance.
