In your example, you're assuming healthcare providers to mean solely a doctor on their own. Often, with doctors working in a hospital, the hospital is covering them, or they'll have an umbrella policy. A limit of $250K isn't going to force a hospital to change and a doctor won't lose their license.

There are definitely egregious punitive damages. I think $250K is low, however.
