Medical Liability Reform

The nation’s health care system is broken and in a state of crisis. Skyrocketing insurance premiums are debilitating our health care system as doctors are being forced to limit their practices, or leave practice all together, and patients are left with limited access to necessary medical care. Unfortunately, some of the specialties serving the sickest and neediest patients have been hit the hardest by the crisis. Because of unmanageable insurance costs, it is now common for brain surgeons to no longer perform brain surgery, obstetricians to no longer deliver babies, orthopaedic specialists to no longer treat children and for other specialists to no longer provide emergency call and perform other “high-risk” procedures. Reform is essential to protecting America’s access to quality, efficient and timely health care.
