Idiot. His wife filed her lawsuit five years after her husband's bill, not ten. And santorum didn't change his mind about a cap until five years after that. Mrs. S's medical costs amounted to $18,800... nowhere near the $500,000 she was requesting. She wasn't fair and honorable enough to request the amount of her bills plus a little more for pain and suffering. Instead she asked for almost 27 times the amount. That translates to GREED. And as usual, santorum the hypocritical p.o.s. could only say “The court proceedings are a personal family matter. I will not be offering any further public comments, other than that I am not a party to the suit. But I am fully supportive of my wife.” It's a lead pipe cinch his jaws would have been flapping in criticism if it was Mrs. Kerry's lawsuit, for example.
