New York's "Doctor Discipline" Bill

NY Newsday reports on the latest political skirmishes in New York on efforts to reform New York's medical disciplinary system.  According to Newsday, "state Republican lawmakers said they want to address not only disciplinary matters but also rising malpractice insurance premiums that have driven doctors out of business."   

The NY Legislature adjourned yesterday, and a press release from the Governor's Office seems to suggest that the discipline bill passed without the malpractice reforms.
