Although the trial court rejected plaintiff's constitutional challenge to the periodic payment provision a conclusion consistent with our recent decision in American Bank it nonetheless denied defendant's request, interpreting section 667.7 as affording a trial court discretion in determining whether to enter a periodic payment judgment and concluding that on the facts of this case the legislative purpose of section 667.7 "would be defeated rather than promoted by ordering periodic payments rather than a lump sum award."

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.

In light of some of the dissent's comments, one additional observation is in order. Although section 3333.1, subdivision (a) as ultimately adopted does not specify how the jury should use such evidence, the Legislature apparently assumed that in most cases the jury would set plaintiff's damages [38 Cal.3d 165] at a lower level because of its awareness of plaintiff's "net" collateral source benefits. 537; Schwartz, The Collateral Source Rule (1961) 41 B.U.L.Rev.

Next, the majority hypothesize that "the Legislature may have felt that the fixed $250,000 limit would promote settlements by eliminating 'the unknown possibility of phenomenal awards for pain and suffering that can make litigation worth the gamble.'" Section 3333.1 alters this rule in medical malpractice cases. Furthermore, while supposedly eliminating victims' "windfalls," section 3333.1 provides a windfall to negligent tortfeasors.

Similarly, in Carson v.
