     by defective products manufactured or produced by foreign 
     entities and imported into the United States.
       (2) Both consumers and businesses in the United States have 
     been harmed by injuries to people in the United States caused 
     by defective products manufactured or produced by foreign 
     entities.
       (3) People in the United States injured by defective 
     products manufactured or produced by foreign entities often 
     have difficulty recovering damages from the foreign 
     manufacturers and producers responsible for such injuries.
       (4) The difficulty described in paragraph (3) is caused by 
     the obstacles in bringing a foreign manufacturer or producer 
     into a United States court and subsequently enforcing a 
     judgment against that manufacturer or producer.
       (5) Obstacles to holding a responsible foreign manufacturer 
     or producer liable for an injury to a person in the United 
     States undermine the purpose of the tort laws of the United 
     States.
       (6) The difficulty of applying the tort laws of the United 
     States to foreign manufacturers and producers puts United 
     States manufacturers and producers at a competitive 
     disadvantage because United States manufacturers and 
     producers must--
       (A) abide by common law and statutory safety standards; and
       (B) invest substantial resources to ensure that they do so.
       (7) Foreign manufacturers and producers can avoid the 
     expenses necessary to make their products safe if they know 
     that they will not be held liable for violations of United 
     States product safety laws.
       (8) Businesses in the United States undertake numerous 
     commercial relationships with foreign manufacturers, exposing 
     the businesses to additional tort liability when foreign 
     manufacturers or producers evade United States courts.
       (9) Businesses in the United States engaged in commercial 
     relationships with foreign manufacturers or producers often 
     cannot vindicate their contractual rights if such 
     manufacturers or producers seek to avoid responsibility in 
     United States courts.
       (10) One of the major obstacles facing businesses and 
     individuals in the United States who are injured and who seek 
     compensation for economic or personal injuries caused by 
     foreign manufacturers and producers is the challenge of 
     serving process on such manufacturers and producers.
       (11) An individual or business injured in the United States 
     by a foreign company must rely on a foreign government to 
     serve process when that company is located in a country that 
     is a signatory to the Convention on the Service Abroad of 
     Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial 
     Matters done at The Hague November 15, 1965 (20 UST 361; TIAS 
     6638).
       (12) An injured person in the United States must rely on 
     the cumbersome system of letters rogatory to effect service 
     in a country that did not sign the Convention on the Service 
     Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or 
     Commercial Matters. These countries do not have an 
     enforceable obligation to serve process as requested.
       (13) The procedures described in paragraphs (11) and (12) 
     add time and expense to litigation in the United States, 
     thereby discouraging or frustrating meritorious lawsuits 
     brought by persons injured in the United States against 
     foreign manufacturers and producers.
       (14) Foreign manufacturers and producers often seek to 
     avoid judicial consideration of

[[Page 10246]]

     their actions by asserting that United States courts lack 
     personal jurisdiction over them.
       (15) The due process clauses of the fifth amendment to and 
     section 1 of the 14th amendment to the Constitution govern 
     United States court assertions of personal jurisdiction over 
     defendants.
       (16) The due process clauses described in paragraph (15) 
     are satisfied when a defendant consents to the jurisdiction 
     of a court.
       (17) United States markets present many opportunities for 
     foreign manufacturers.
       (18) Creating a competitive advantage for either foreign or 
     domestic manufacturers violates the principles of United 
     States trade agreements with other countries.
       (19) In choosing to import products into the United States, 
     a foreign manufacturer or producer subjects itself to the 
     laws of the United States. Such a foreign manufacturer or 
     producer thereby acknowledges that it is subject to the 
     personal jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in at 
     least one State.

     SEC. 802. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) foreign manufacturers and producers whose products are 
     sold in the United States should not be able to avoid 
     liability simply because of difficulties relating to serving 
     process upon them;
       (2) to avoid such lack of accountability, foreign 
     manufacturers and producers of foreign products distributed 
     in the United States should be required, by regulation, to 
     register an agent in the United States who is authorized to 
     accept service of process for such manufacturer or producer;
       (3) it is unfair to United States consumers and businesses 
     that foreign manufacturers and producers often seek to avoid 
     judicial consideration of their actions by asserting that 
     United States courts lack personal jurisdiction over them;
       (4) those who benefit from importing products into United 
     States markets should expect to be subject to the 
     jurisdiction of at least one court within the United States;
       (5) importing products into the United States should be 
     understood as consent to the accountability that the legal 
     system of the United States ensures for all manufacturers and 
     producers, foreign, and domestic;
       (6) importers recognize the scope of opportunities 
     presented to them by United States markets but also should 
     recognize that products imported into the United States must 
     satisfy Federal and State safety standards established by 
     statute, regulation, and common law;
       (7) foreign manufacturers should recognize that they are 
     responsible for the contracts they enter into with United 
     States companies;
       (8) foreign manufacturers should act responsibly and 
     recognize that they operate within the constraints of the 
     United States legal system when they import products into the 
     United States;
       (9) foreign manufacturers who are unwilling to act and 
     recognize as described in paragraphs (6), (7), and (8) should 
     not have access to United States markets;
       (10) United States laws and the laws of United States 
     trading partners should not put burdens on foreign 
     manufacturers and importers that do not apply to domestic 
     companies;
       (11) it is fair to ensure that foreign manufacturers, whose 
     products are distributed in commerce in the United States, 
     are subject to the jurisdiction of State and Federal courts 
     in at least one State because all United States manufacturers 
     are subject to the jurisdiction of the State and Federal 
     courts in at least one State; and
       (12) it should be understood that, by registering an agent 
     for service of process in the United States, the foreign 
     manufacturer or producer acknowledges consent to the 
     jurisdiction of the State in which the registered agent is 
     located.

     may initiate a proceeding to enforce the provisions of this 
     section against the parties to any agreement resolving or 
     settling, on a final or interim basis, a patent infringement 
     claim, in connection with the sale of a drug product.
       ``(2) Presumption.--
       ``(A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), in such a 
     proceeding, an agreement shall be presumed to have 
     anticompetitive effects and be unlawful if--
       ``(i) an ANDA filer receives anything of value; and
       ``(ii) the ANDA filer agrees to limit or forego research, 
     development, manufacturing, marketing, or sales of the ANDA 
     product for any period of time.
       ``(B) Exception.--The presumption in subparagraph (A) shall 
     not apply if the parties to such agreement demonstrate by 
     clear and convincing evidence that the procompetitive 
     benefits of the agreement outweigh the anticompetitive 
     effects of the agreement.
       ``(b) Competitive Factors.--In determining whether the 
     settling parties have met their burden under subsection 
     (a)(2)(B), the fact finder shall consider--
       ``(1) the length of time remaining until the end of the 
     life of the relevant patent, compared with the agreed upon 
     entry date for the ANDA product;
       ``(2) the value to consumers of the competition from the 
     ANDA product allowed under the agreement;
       ``(3) the form and amount of consideration received by the 
     ANDA filer in the agreement resolving or settling the patent 
     infringement claim;
       ``(4) the revenue the ANDA filer would have received by 
     winning the patent litigation;

     lost the patent litigation;

     conveying value to the ANDA filer and the date of the 
     settlement of the patent infringement claim; and
       ``(7) any other factor that the fact finder, in its 
     discretion, deems relevant to its determination of 
     competitive effects under this subsection.

     parties have met their burden under subsection (a)(2)(B), the 
     fact finder shall not presume--
       ``(1) that entry would not have occurred until the 
     expiration of the relevant patent or statutory exclusivity; 
     or
       ``(2) that the agreement's provision for entry of the ANDA 
     product prior to the expiration of the relevant patent or 
     statutory exclusivity means that the agreement is pro-
     competitive, although such evidence may be relevant to the 
     fact finder's determination under this section.
       ``(d) Exclusions.--Nothing in this section shall prohibit a 
     resolution or settlement of a patent infringement claim in 
     which the consideration granted by the NDA holder to the ANDA 
     filer as part of the resolution or settlement includes only 
     one or more of the following:

     States prior to the expiration of--
       ``(A) any patent that is the basis for the patent 
     infringement claim; or
       ``(B) any patent right or other statutory exclusivity that 
     would prevent the marketing of such drug.

     exceed $7,500,000.

     product infringes a United States patent.

       ``(1) Regulations.--The Federal Trade Commission may issue, 
     in accordance with section 553 of title 5, United States 
     Code, regulations implementing and interpreting this section. 
     These regulations may exempt certain types of agreements

     section. If no such value has been received by the NDA 
     holder, the penalty to the NDA holder shall be shall be 
     sufficient to deter violations, but in no event greater than 
     3 times the value given to the ANDA filer reasonably 
     attributable to the violation of this section. Such penalty 
     shall accrue to the United States and may be recovered in a 
     civil action brought by the Federal Trade Commission, in its 
     own name by any of its attorneys designated by it for such 
     purpose, in a district court of the United States against any

     SEC. 272. STUDY OF EXTENDED TAX EXPENDITURES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Currently, the aggregate cost of Federal tax 
     expenditures rivals, or even exceeds, the amount of total 
     Federal discretionary spending.
       (2) Given the escalating public debt, a critical 
     examination of this use of taxpayer dollars is essential.
       (3) Additionally, tax expenditures can complicate the 
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for taxpayers and complicate 
     tax administration for the Internal Revenue Service.
       (4) To facilitate a better understanding of tax 
     expenditures in the future, it is constructive for 
     legislation extending these provisions to include a study of 
     such provisions.
       (b) Requirement to Report.--Not later than November 30, 
     2010, the Chief of Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, 
     in consultation with the Comptroller General of the United 
     States, shall submit to the Committee on Ways and Means of 
     the House of Representatives and the Committee on Finance of 
     the Senate a report on each tax expenditure (as defined in 
     section 3(3) of the Congressional Budget Impoundment Control 
     Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 622(3)) extended by this title.
       (c) Rolling Submission of Reports.--The Chief of Staff of 
     the Joint Committee on Taxation shall initially submit the 
     reports for each such tax expenditure enacted in this 
     subtitle (relating to business tax relief) and subtitle A 
     (relating to energy) in order of the tax expenditure 
     incurring the least aggregate cost to the greatest aggregate 
     cost (determined by reference to the cost estimate of this 
     Act by the Joint Committee on Taxation). Thereafter, such 
     reports may be submitted in such order as the Chief of Staff 
     determines appropriate.
       (d) Contents of Report.--Such reports shall contain the 
     following:
       (1) An explanation of the tax expenditure and any relevant 
     economic, social, or other context under which it was first 
     enacted.
       (2) A description of the intended purpose of the tax 
     expenditure.
       (3) An analysis of the overall success of the tax 
     expenditure in achieving such purpose, and evidence 
     supporting such analysis.
       (4) An analysis of the extent to which further extending 
     the tax expenditure, or making it permanent, would contribute 
     to achieving such purpose.
       (5) A description of the direct and indirect beneficiaries 
     of the tax expenditure, including identifying any unintended 
     beneficiaries.
       (6) An analysis of whether the tax expenditure is the most 
     cost-effective method for achieving the purpose for which it 
     was intended, and a description of any more cost-effective 
     methods through which such purpose could be accomplished.

[[Page 10259]]

       (7) A description of any unintended effects of the tax 
     expenditure that are useful in understanding the tax 
     expenditure's overall value.
       (8) An analysis of how the tax expenditure could be 
     modified to better achieve its original purpose.
       (9) A brief description of any interactions (actual or 
     potential) with other tax expenditures or direct spending 
     programs in the same or related budget function worthy of 
     further study.
       (10) A description of any unavailable information the staff 
     of the Joint Committee on Taxation may need to complete a 
     more thorough examination and analysis of the tax 
     expenditure, and what must be done to make such information 
     available.
       (e) Minimum Analysis by Deadline.--In the event the Chief 
     of Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation concludes it will 
     not be feasible to complete all reports by the date specified 
     in subsection (a), at a minimum, the reports for each tax 
     expenditure enacted in this subtitle (relating to business 
     tax relief) and subtitle A (relating to energy) shall be 
     completed by such date.

     otherwise determined and payable under such paragraph for 
     such plan year shall, subject to the limitation under 
     subparagraph (B), be increased by such amount.

     installment acceleration amount with respect to the 
     succeeding plan year.

     installment acceleration amount under subclause (I) or this 
     subclause with respect any succeeding plan year, when added

     regard to clause (ii)) with respect to the plan year, exceeds

     second plan year following such last plan year in the case of 
     an election year with respect to which 15-year amortization 
     was elected under paragraph (2)(D)).

     (II), installment acceleration amounts for the plan year

     clause) shall be applied first against the limitation under 
     clause (ii) and then carryovers to such plan year shall be

                  Subpart B--Medical Liability Reform

     SEC. 551. SHORT TITLE.

       This subpart may be cited as the ``Medical Care Access 
     Protection Act of 2010'' or the ``MCAP Act''.

     SEC. 552. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--
       (1) Effect on health care access and costs.--Congress finds 
     that our current civil justice system is adversely affecting 
     patient access to health care services, better patient care, 
     and cost-efficient health care, in that the health care 
     liability system is a costly and ineffective mechanism for 
     resolving claims of health care liability and compensating 
     injured patients, and is a deterrent to the sharing of 
     information among health care professionals which impedes 
     efforts to improve patient safety and quality of care.
       (2) Effect on interstate commerce.--Congress finds that the 
     health care and insurance industries are industries affecting 
     interstate commerce and the health care liability litigation 
     systems existing throughout the United States are activities 
     that affect interstate commerce by contributing to the high 
     costs of health care and premiums for health care liability 
     insurance purchased by health care system providers.
       (3) Effect on federal spending.--Congress finds that the 
     health care liability litigation systems existing throughout 
     the United States have a significant effect on the amount, 
     distribution, and use of Federal funds because of--
       (A) the large number of individuals who receive health care 
     benefits under programs operated or financed by the Federal 
     Government;
       (B) the large number of individuals who benefit because of 
     the exclusion from Federal taxes of the amounts spent to 
     provide them with health insurance benefits; and
       (C) the large number of health care providers who provide 
     items or services for which the Federal Government makes 
     payments.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this subpart to 
     implement reasonable, comprehensive, and effective health 
     care liability reforms designed to--
       (1) improve the availability of health care services in 
     cases in which health care liability actions have been shown 
     to be a factor in the decreased availability of services;
       (2) reduce the incidence of ``defensive medicine'' and 
     lower the cost of health care liability insurance, all of 
     which contribute to the escalation of health care costs;
       (3) ensure that persons with meritorious health care injury 
     claims receive fair and adequate compensation, including 
     reasonable noneconomic damages;
       (4) improve the fairness and cost-effectiveness of our 
     current health care liability system to resolve disputes 
     over, and provide compensation for, health care liability by 
     reducing uncertainty in the amount of compensation provided 
     to injured individuals; and
       (5) provide an increased sharing of information in the 
     health care system which will reduce unintended injury and 
     improve patient care.

     SEC. 554. ENCOURAGING SPEEDY RESOLUTION OF CLAIMS.

       (a) In General.--Except as otherwise provided for in this 
     section, the time for the commencement of a health care 
     lawsuit shall be 3 years after the date of manifestation of 
     injury or 1 year after the claimant discovers, or through the 
     use of reasonable diligence should have discovered, the 
     injury, whichever occurs first.
       (b) General Exception.--The time for the commencement of a 
     health care lawsuit shall not exceed 3 years after the date 
     of manifestation of injury unless the tolling of time was 
     delayed as a result of--
       (1) fraud;
       (2) intentional concealment; or
       (3) the presence of a foreign body, which has no 
     therapeutic or diagnostic purpose or effect, in the person of 
     the injured person.
       (c) Minors.--An action by a minor shall be commenced within 
     3 years from the date of the alleged manifestation of injury 
     except that if such minor is under the full age of 6 years, 
     such action shall be commenced within 3 years of the 
     manifestation of injury, or prior to the eighth birthday of 
     the minor, whichever provides a longer period. Such time 
     limitation shall be tolled for minors for any period during 
     which a parent or guardian and a health care provider or

     the failure to bring an action on behalf of the injured 
     minor.
       (d) Rule 11 Sanctions.--Whenever a Federal or State court 
     determines (whether by motion of the parties or whether on 
     the motion of the court) that there has been a violation of 
     Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (or a similar 
     violation of applicable State court rules) in a health care 
     liability action to which this subpart applies, the court 
     shall impose upon the attorneys, law firms, or pro se 
     litigants that have violated Rule 11 or are responsible for 
     the violation, an appropriate sanction, which shall include 
     an order to pay the other party or parties for the reasonable 
     expenses incurred as a direct result of the filing of the 
     pleading, motion, or other paper that is the subject of the 
     violation, including a reasonable attorneys' fee. Such 
     sanction shall be sufficient to deter repetition of such 
     conduct or comparable conduct by others similarly situated, 
     and to compensate the party or parties injured by such 
     conduct.

     SEC. 555. COMPENSATING PATIENT INJURY.

       (a) Unlimited Amount of Damages for Actual Economic Losses 
     in Health Care Lawsuits.--In any health care lawsuit, nothing 
     in this subpart shall limit the recovery by a claimant of the 
     full amount of the available economic damages, 
     notwithstanding the limitation contained in subsection (b).
       (b) Additional Noneconomic Damages.--
       (1) Health care providers.--In any health care lawsuit 
     where final judgment is rendered against a health care 
     provider, the amount of noneconomic damages recovered from 
     the provider, if otherwise available under applicable Federal 
     or State law, may be as much as $250,000, regardless of the 
     number of parties other than a health care institution 
     against whom the action is brought or the number of separate 
     claims or actions brought with respect to the same 
     occurrence.
       (2) Health care institutions.--
       (A) Single institution.--In any health care lawsuit where 
     final judgment is rendered against a single health care 
     institution, the amount of noneconomic damages recovered from 
     the institution, if otherwise available under applicable 
     Federal or State law, may be as much as $250,000, regardless 
     of the number of parties against whom the action is brought 
     or the number of separate claims or actions brought with 
     respect to the same occurrence.
       (B) Multiple institutions.--In any health care lawsuit 
     where final judgment is rendered against more than one health 
     care institution, the amount of noneconomic damages recovered 
     from each institution, if otherwise available under 
     applicable Federal or State law, may be as much as $250,000, 
     regardless of the number of parties against whom the action 
     is brought or the number of separate claims or actions 
     brought with respect to the same occurrence, except that the 
     total amount recovered from all such institutions in such 
     lawsuit shall not exceed $500,000.
       (c) No Discount of Award for Noneconomic Damages.--In any 
     health care lawsuit--
       (1) an award for future noneconomic damages shall not be 
     discounted to present value;
       (2) the jury shall not be informed about the maximum award 
     for noneconomic damages under subsection (b);
       (3) an award for noneconomic damages in excess of the 
     limitations provided for in subsection (b) shall be reduced 
     either before the entry of judgment, or by amendment of the 
     judgment after entry of judgment, and such reduction shall be 
     made before accounting for any other reduction in damages 
     required by law; and
       (4) if separate awards are rendered for past and future 
     noneconomic damages and the combined awards exceed the 
     limitations described in subsection (b), the future 
     noneconomic damages shall be reduced first.
       (d) Fair Share Rule.--In any health care lawsuit, each 
     party shall be liable for that party's several share of any 
     damages only and not for the share of any other person. Each 
     party shall be liable only for the amount of damages 
     allocated to such party in direct proportion to such party's 
     percentage of responsibility. A separate judgment shall be 
     rendered against each such party for the amount allocated to 
     such party. For purposes of this section, the trier of fact 
     shall determine the proportion of responsibility of each 
     party for the claimant's harm.

     SEC. 556. MAXIMIZING PATIENT RECOVERY.

       (a) Court Supervision of Share of Damages Actually Paid to 
     Claimants.--
       (1) In general.--In any health care lawsuit, the court 
     shall supervise the arrangements for payment of damages to 
     protect against conflicts of interest that may have the 
     effect of reducing the amount of damages awarded that are 
     actually paid to claimants.
       (2) Contingency fees.--
       (A) In general.--In any health care lawsuit in which the 
     attorney for a party claims a financial stake in the outcome 
     by virtue of a contingent fee, the court shall have the power 
     to restrict the payment of a claimant's damage recovery to 
     such attorney, and to redirect such damages to the claimant 
     based upon the interests of justice and principles of equity.
       (B) Limitation.--The total of all contingent fees for 
     representing all claimants in a health care lawsuit shall not 
     exceed the following limits:
       (i) 40 percent of the first $50,000 recovered by the 
     claimant(s).
       (ii) 33\1/3\ percent of the next $50,000 recovered by the

     claimant(s).
       (iv) 15 percent of any amount by which the recovery by the 
     claimant(s) is in excess of $600,000.
       (b) Applicability.--
       (1) In general.--The limitations in subsection (a) shall

     incompetent person, a court retains the authority to 
     authorize or approve a fee that is less than the maximum 
     permitted under this section.
       (c) Expert Witnesses.--
       (1) Requirement.--No individual shall be qualified to 
     testify as an expert witness concerning issues of negligence 
     in any health care lawsuit against a defendant unless such 
     individual--
       (A) except as required under paragraph (2), is a health 
     care professional who--
       (i) is appropriately credentialed or licensed in 1 or more 
     States to deliver health care services; and
       (ii) typically treats the diagnosis or condition or 
     provides the type of treatment under review; and
       (B) can demonstrate by competent evidence that, as a result 
     of training, education, knowledge, and experience in the 
     evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease or injury 
     which is the subject matter of the lawsuit against the 
     defendant, the individual was substantially familiar with 
     applicable standards of care and practice as they relate to 
     the act or omission which is the subject of the lawsuit on 
     the date of the incident.
       (2) Physician review.--In a health care lawsuit, if the 
     claim of the plaintiff involved treatment that is recommended 
     or provided by a physician (allopathic or osteopathic), an 
     individual shall not be qualified to be an expert witness

     concerning such

[[Page 10272]]

     treatment unless such individual is a physician.
       (3) Specialties and subspecialties.--With respect to a 
     lawsuit described in paragraph (1), a court shall not permit 
     an expert in one medical specialty or subspecialty to testify 
     against a defendant in another medical specialty or 
     subspecialty unless, in addition to a showing of substantial 
     familiarity in accordance with paragraph (1)(B), there is a 
     showing that the standards of care and practice in the two 
     specialty or subspecialty fields are similar.
       (4) Limitation.--The limitations in this subsection shall 
     not apply to expert witnesses testifying as to the degree or

     SEC. 557. ADDITIONAL HEALTH BENEFITS.

       (a) In General.--The amount of any damages received by a 
     claimant in any health care lawsuit shall be reduced by the 
     court by the amount of any collateral source benefits to 
     which the claimant is entitled, less any insurance premiums 
     or other payments made by the claimant (or by the spouse, 
     parent, child, or legal guardian of the claimant) to obtain 
     or secure such benefits.
       (b) Preservation of Current Law.--Where a payor of 
     collateral source benefits has a right of recovery by 
     reimbursement or subrogation and such right is permitted 
     under Federal or State law, subsection (a) shall not apply.
       (c) Application of Provision.--This section shall apply to 
     any health care lawsuit that is settled or resolved by a fact 
     finder.

     SEC. 558. PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

       (a) Punitive Damages Permitted.--
       (1) In general.--Punitive damages may, if otherwise 
     available under applicable State or Federal law, be awarded 
     against any person in a health care lawsuit only if it is 
     proven by clear and convincing evidence that such person 
     acted with malicious intent to injure the claimant, or that 
     such person deliberately failed to avoid unnecessary injury 
     that such person knew the claimant was substantially certain 
     to suffer.
       (2) Filing of lawsuit.--No demand for punitive damages 
     shall be included in a health care lawsuit as initially 
     filed. A court may allow a claimant to file an amended 
     pleading for punitive damages only upon a motion by the 
     claimant and after a finding by the court, upon review of 
     supporting and opposing affidavits or after a hearing, after 
     weighing the evidence, that the claimant has established by a 
     substantial probability that the claimant will prevail on the 
     claim for punitive damages.
       (3) Separate proceeding.--At the request of any party in a 
     health care lawsuit, the trier of fact shall consider in a 
     separate proceeding--
       (A) whether punitive damages are to be awarded and the 
     amount of such award; and
       (B) the amount of punitive damages following a 
     determination of punitive liability.
     If a separate proceeding is requested, evidence relevant only 
     to the claim for punitive damages, as determined by 
     applicable State law, shall be inadmissible in any proceeding 
     to determine whether compensatory damages are to be awarded.
       (4) Limitation where no compensatory damages are awarded.--
     In any health care lawsuit where no judgment for compensatory 
     damages is rendered against a person, no punitive damages may 
     be awarded with respect to the claim in such lawsuit against 
     such person.
       (b) Determining Amount of Punitive Damages.--
       (1) Factors considered.--In determining the amount of 
     punitive damages under this section, the trier of fact shall 
     consider only the following:
       (A) the severity of the harm caused by the conduct of such 
     party;
       (B) the duration of the conduct or any concealment of it by 
     such party;
       (C) the profitability of the conduct to such party;
       (D) the number of products sold or medical procedures 
     rendered for compensation, as the case may be, by such party, 
     of the kind causing the harm complained of by the claimant;
       (E) any criminal penalties imposed on such party, as a 
     result of the conduct complained of by the claimant; and
       (F) the amount of any civil fines assessed against such 
     party as a result of the conduct complained of by the 
     claimant.
       (2) Maximum award.--The amount of punitive damages awarded 
     in a health care lawsuit may not exceed an amount equal to 
     two times the amount of economic damages awarded in the 
     lawsuit or $250,000, whichever is greater. The jury shall not 
     be informed of the limitation under the preceding sentence.
       (c) Liability of Health Care Providers.--
       (1) In general.--A health care provider who prescribes, or 
     who dispenses pursuant to a prescription, a drug, biological 
     product, or medical device approved by the Food and Drug 
     Administration, for an approved indication of the drug, 
     biological product, or medical device, shall not be named as 
     a party to a product liability lawsuit invoking such drug, 
     biological product, or medical device and shall not be liable 
     to a claimant in a class action lawsuit against the 
     manufacturer, distributor, or product seller of such drug, 
     biological product, or medical device.
       (2) Medical product.--The term ``medical product'' means a 
     drug or device intended for humans. The terms ``drug'' and 
     ``device'' have the meanings given such terms in sections 
     201(g)(1) and 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic 
     Act (21 U.S.C. 321), respectively, including any component or 
     raw material used therein, but excluding health care 
     services.

     SEC. 559. AUTHORIZATION OF PAYMENT OF FUTURE DAMAGES TO 
                   CLAIMANTS IN HEALTH CARE LAWSUITS.

       (a) In General.--In any health care lawsuit, if an award of 
     future damages, without reduction to present value, equaling 
     or exceeding $50,000 is made against a party with sufficient 
     insurance or other assets to fund a periodic payment of such 
     a judgment, the court shall, at the request of any party, 
     enter a judgment ordering that the future damages be paid by 
     periodic payments in accordance with the Uniform Periodic 
     Payment of Judgments Act promulgated by the National 
     Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.
       (b) Applicability.--This section applies to all actions 
     which have not been first set for trial or retrial before the 
     effective date of this subpart.

     SEC. 560. EFFECT ON OTHER LAWS.

       (a) General Vaccine Injury.--
       (1) In general.--To the extent that title XXI of the Public 
     Health Service Act establishes a Federal rule of law 
     applicable to a civil action brought for a vaccine-related 
     injury or death--
       (A) this subpart shall not affect the application of the 
     rule of law to such an action; and
       (B) any rule of law prescribed by this subpart in conflict 
     with a rule of law of such title XXI shall not apply to such 
     action.
       (2) Exception.--If there is an aspect of a civil action 
     brought for a vaccine-related injury or death to which a 
     Federal rule of law under title XXI of the Public Health 
     Service Act does not apply, then this subpart or otherwise 
     applicable law (as determined under this subpart) will apply 
     to such aspect of such action.
       (b) Smallpox Vaccine Injury.--
       (1) In general.--To the extent that part C of title II of 
     the Public Health Service Act establishes a Federal rule of 
     law applicable to a civil action brought for a smallpox 
     vaccine-related injury or death--
       (A) this subpart shall not affect the application of the 
     rule of law to such an action; and
       (B) any rule of law prescribed by this subpart in conflict 
     with a rule of law of such part C shall not apply to such 
     action.
       (2) Exception.--If there is an aspect of a civil action 
     brought for a smallpox vaccine-related injury or death to 
     which a Federal rule of law under part C of title II of the 
     Public Health Service Act does not apply, then this subpart 
     or otherwise applicable law (as determined under this 
     subpart) will apply to such aspect of such action.
       (c) Other Federal Law.--Except as provided in this section, 
     nothing in this subpart shall be deemed to affect any defense 
     available, or any limitation on liability that applies to, a 
     defendant in a health care lawsuit or action under any other 
     provision of Federal law.

     SEC. 561. STATE FLEXIBILITY AND PROTECTION OF STATES' RIGHTS.

       (a) Health Care Lawsuits.--The provisions governing health 
     care lawsuits set forth in this subpart shall preempt, 
     subject to subsections (b) and (c), State law to the extent 
     that State law prevents the application of any provisions of 
     law established by or under this subpart. The provisions 
     governing health care lawsuits set forth in this subpart 
     supersede chapter 171 of title 28, United States Code, to the 
     extent that such chapter--
       (1) provides for a greater amount of damages or contingent 
     fees, a longer period in which a health care lawsuit may be 
     commenced, or a reduced applicability or scope of periodic 
     payment of future damages, than provided in this subpart; or
       (2) prohibits the introduction of evidence regarding 
     collateral source benefits.
       (b) Preemption of Certain State Laws.--No provision of this 
     subpart shall be construed to preempt any State law (whether 
     effective before, on, or after the date of the enactment of 
     this subpart) that specifies a particular monetary amount of 
     compensatory or punitive damages (or the total amount of 
     damages) that may be awarded in a health care lawsuit, 
     regardless of whether such monetary amount is greater or 
     lesser than is provided for under this subpart, 
     notwithstanding section 555(a).
       (c) Protection of State's Rights and Other Laws.--
       (1) In general.--Any issue that is not governed by a 
     provision of law established by or under this subpart 
     (including the State standards of negligence) shall be 
     governed by otherwise applicable Federal or State law.
       (2) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this subpart shall be 
     construed to--
       (A) preempt or supersede any Federal or State law that 
     imposes greater procedural or substantive protections (such 
     as a shorter statute of limitations) for a health care 
     provider or health care institution from liability, loss, or 
     damages than those provided by this subpart;
       (B) preempt or supercede any State law that permits and 
     provides for the enforcement of any arbitration agreement 
     related

[[Page 10273]]

     to a health care liability claim whether enacted prior to or 
     after the date of enactment of this subpart;
       (C) create a cause of action that is not otherwise 
     available under Federal or State law; or

     law.

     in a Federal or State court, or subject to an alternative 
     dispute resolution system, that is initiated on or after the 
     date of the enactment of this subpart, except that any health 
     care lawsuit arising from an injury occurring prior to the 
     date of enactment of this subpart shall be governed by the 
     applicable statute of limitations provisions in effect at the 
     time the injury occurred.
