  2. Plaintiff attorneys were just avoiding complex med-mal cases in KS because of the caps. Is it really worth a measly 40% of $500k to take on a contingency case? Since these cases don't go to trial and involve minimal discovery and several settlement conferences - it's telling that $300k isn't enough $$$ for minimal work. They want the big paychecks. They want Jackson County, MO $$$. Never mind that these costs are passed along to the consumer and everyone else pays for it...
