Prohibits insurers from raising medical malpractice liability insurance premiums under certain circumstances.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill would stop insurance companies from raising prices if a claim is dismissed quickly, which could help doctors save money.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If this bill passes, it could help doctors keep their insurance costs down. But it might also make it harder for patients to get fair treatment if doctors are less accountable.
