Kaiser Foundation Hospitals (1972) 7 Cal.3d 889, 892-893 [103 Cal.Rptr. As Cooper explains, under the traditional, rational relationship equal protection standard, what is required is that the court "'conduct "a serious and genuine judicial inquiry into the correspondence between the classification and the legislative goals."'" Plaintiff's claims are based on a constitutional challenge similar to the challenges [38 Cal.3d 143] to other provisions of MICRA that we recently addressed and rejected in American Bank & Trust Co. v. Community Hospital (1984) 36 Cal.3d 359 [204 Cal.Rptr. 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.

With only one exception, all of the invalidated statutes contained a ceiling which applied to both pecuniary and nonpecuniary damages, and several courts in reaching their decisions were apparently considerably influenced by the potential harshness of a limit that might prevent an injured person from even recovering the amount of his medical expenses.

Although the statute may promote the legislative objective of containing health care costs, the potential cost to the general public and the actual cost to many medical malpractice plaintiffs is simply too high." Plaintiff alternatively contends that the section violates the equal protection clause, both because it impermissibly discriminates between medical malpractice victims and other tort victims, imposing its limits only in medical malpractice cases, and because it improperly discriminates within the class of medical malpractice victims, denying a "complete" recovery of [38 Cal.3d 162] damages only to those malpractice plaintiffs with noneconomic damages exceeding $250,000. Newspapers, supra, 35 Cal.2d 121, 126-128.). Further, section 3333.1 operates only as a rule of evidence. He did so and was given an appointment for 4 p.m. that afternoon, Thursday, February 26. fn. In contrast to the provisions so far upheld by this court, there is no pretense that the $250,000 limit on noneconomic damages affects only windfalls (compare American Bank, supra, 36 Cal.3d at p. 369), that it protects plaintiffs' awards (compare ibid. June 25, 1975, 26.

The tortfeasor should not garner the benefits of his victim's providence." There is no denying, of course, that in some cases like this one section 3333.2 will result in the recovery of a lower judgment than would have been obtained before the enactment of the statute. An infant with identical injuries is limited to the same compensation for an entire lifetime of blindness or immobility. fn. So long as the measure is rationally related to a legitimate state interest, policy determinations as to the need for, and the desirability of, the enactment are for the Legislature."

The statute plainly and simply denies severely injured malpractice victims compensation for negligently inflicted harm. In short, four out of seven justices concluded either that the limit was unconstitutional or that the question of its constitutionality was not justiciable. (See, e.g., Eastin v. Broomfield (1977) 116 Ariz. 576 [570 P.2d 744, 751-753]; Rudolph v. Iowa Methodist Medical Ctr. Code, tit.

Section 667.7 provides in relevant part: "(a) In any action for injury or damages against a provider of health care services, a superior court shall, at the request of either party, enter a judgment ordering that money damages or its equivalent for future damages of the judgment creditor be paid in whole or in part by periodic payments rather than by a lump-sum payment if the award equals or exceeds fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in future damages.

Although the Legislature normally enjoys wide latitude in distributing the burdens of personal injuries, the singling out of such a minuscule and vulnerable group violates even the most undemanding standard of underinclusiveness. The well-reasoned dissent of the Chief Justice reaches a conclusion consistent with the duty of a democratic society to protect malpractice victims and to refrain from creating specially favored economic insulation for those who commit malpractice. My colleagues persist in denying the existence of an intermediate test, and cling to the inflexible two-tier rule with a tenacity that suggests it originated with the Delphic oracle. FN 3. [1] But whether or not under California law membership in Kaiser rendered the prospective jurors excludable for cause under section 602, we believe that it is clear that the trial court's discharge of such members provides no basis for reversing the judgment in this case. As this court has observed, the collateral source rule embodies "the venerable concept that a person who has invested years of insurance premiums to assure his medical care should receive the benefits of his thrift. Didn't Furthermore, although defendant suggests that the jury could have interpreted the instruction to render it strictly liable for plaintiff's injuries imposing liability on defendant even if its failure to have diagnosed (i.e., "foreseen") plaintiff's heart condition was not negligent that suggestion ignores the context in which this instruction was given, as well as additional instructions which informed the jury that plaintiff's case depended upon a showing of negligence. As noted, several hours after Nurse Welch examined plaintiff and gave him the Valium that her supervising doctor had prescribed, plaintiff returned to the medical center with similar complaints and was examined by a physician, Dr. Redding. About the areaThe city of Los Angeles offers one of the world's great urban experiences. of Clinton, J.).).

Furthermore, as we have seen, the trial court, acting pursuant to Civil Code section 3333.2, reduced the $500,000 noneconomic damage verdict to $250,000. 348, 354.) Defendant maintains that the trial court committed reversible error in (1) excusing all Kaiser members from the jury, (2) instructing on the duty of care of a nurse practitioner, (3) instructing on causation, (4) permitting plaintiff to recover wages lost because of his diminished life expectancy, and (5) refusing to order the periodic payment of all future damages. (See, e.g., Werner v. Southern Cal. In upholding the section's constitutionality, [38 Cal.3d 166] we explained that a collateral source has no vested due process right to subrogation and that section 3333.1, subdivision (b) is rationally related to the purposes of MICRA since it reduces the costs imposed on medical malpractice defendants by shifting some of the costs in the area to other insurers. Zippia gives an in-depth look into the details of The Permanente Medical Group, including salaries, political affiliations, employee data, and more, in order to inform job seekers about The Permanente Medical Group. of Boslaugh, J.).) } The second purpose advanced to justify section 3333.1 is that of reducing the cost of medical malpractice insurance, the overall goal of MICRA. 25-26].

FN 4. 1181, 66 S.Ct. Although defendant does not contend that any of the jurors who ultimately served on the jury and decided the case were biased against it, it nonetheless asserts that the discharge of the Kaiser members was improper and warrants reversal. (Italics added.) ), Once again we have an opportunity to employ a test carefully crafted to avoid the rigid extremes of the anachronistic two-tier test of equal protection. Hence, the rule "will not usually give him [38 Cal.3d 177] 'double recovery,' but partially provides a somewhat closer approximation to full compensation for his injuries." The Permanente Medical Group physicians are regarded as experts in their field. 7 Accordingly, the erroneous instruction on the standard of care of a nurse practitioner does not warrant reversal. Section 2725 currently provides in relevant part: "In amending this section at the 1973-74 session, the Legislature recognizes that nursing is a dynamic field, the practice of which is continually evolving to include more sophisticated patient care activities. 97 [256 N.W.2d 657, 668-672] [plurality opinion].)

The Permanente Medical Group, President and CEO 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." Similarly, a person who has been hideously disfigured receives only noneconomic damages to ameliorate the resulting humiliation and embarassment. 128.). Just as the complete elimination of a cause of action has never been viewed as invidiously discriminating within the class of victims who have lost the right to sue, the $250,000 limit which applies to all malpractice victims does not amount to an unconstitutional discrimination. Through this innovative, personalized, and technologically advanced approach to health care, we continue to set the standard and raise the bar in making high-quality care more connected, more convenient, and more accessible all with the goal of delivering the best clinical outcomes for our patients. The Permanente Federation, LLC. 857, 665 P.2d 947]. Yet, plaintiffs must pay attorney fees and costs out of their recoveries. Nor can we agree with amicus' contention that the $250,000 limit is unconstitutional because the Legislature could have realized its hoped-for cost [38 Cal.3d 163] savings by mandating a fixed-percentage reduction of all noneconomic damage awards. 761 [152 S.E.2d 715, 718-719] [policyholder of mutual insurance company]); other decisions, on which defendant relies, have found no error when a trial court has refused to excuse such jurors. fn.

Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center and Employees working in the marketing organizational function also get paid well, with an average yearly pay of $72,585. fn. Less than one year ago, this court rejected the first MICRA challenge, upholding the periodic payment provision. Moreover, the Legislature clearly did not act irrationally in choosing to modify the collateral source rule as one means of lowering the costs of malpractice litigation. Its position was simply that in light of the symptoms described and exhibited by plaintiff at the time of the examinations, neither Nurse Welch nor Dr. Redding was negligent in failing to order an EKG, and that, in any event, the heart attack could not have been prevented even if an EKG had been performed at either time. In the past year alone, that number has doubled. [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. But while the instruction was erroneous, it is not reasonably probable that the error affected the judgment in this case. Further, even if the trial court did err in this regard, the error clearly would not warrant reversal. Rapid Transit Dist. Upon termination of periodic payments of future damages, the court shall order the return of this security, or so much as remains, to the judgment debtor. ), Contrary to defendant's contention, plaintiff's recovery of such future lost wages will not inevitably subject defendant to a "double payment" in the event plaintiff's heirs bring a wrongful death action at some point in the future. People v. White (1954) 43 Cal.2d 740, 751 [278 P.2d 9] ["The system of jury selection primarily from the membership rosters of certain private clubs and organizations [such as the Lions, Rotary and the Chamber of Commerce] would normally tend to result in a systematic inclusion of a large proportion of business and professional people and a definite exclusion of certain classes such as ordinary working people."].)
