Moreover, the plan would also outlaw claims based on pain or suffering unless they exceeded $5,000. The authors argue that it is impossible to assign such damages an accurate dollar value; getting rid of the smaller court claims would also cut administrative and legal costs for insurance companies and give them an opportunity to reduce premium prices.

When the light we see today left the farthermost quasars, the earth and the solar...
