WASHINGTON ? Senate Democrats on Wednesday killed President Bush's effort to put a $250,000 limit on awards for pain and suffering in medical malpractice lawsuits.
The 49-48 vote was 11 votes short of the 60 needed to overcome a procedural roadblock put up by Democrats. It meant the debate over whether to limit liability awards is likely to become part of the 2004 campaigns for the White House and Congress.
Damn!!
