Today in Med Mal Reform
In Missouri, the Senate is debating whether to reinstate a cap on med mal damages after the Missouri Supreme Court ruled last year that a prior cap was unconstitutional. At this point, negotiations are "in limbo," with no vote after 8 hours of discussion. St. Louis Public Radio has the story (see also the San Francisco Chronicle)
Meanwhile, in Florida, the House is set to vote on a bill that would restrict the type of experts eligible to testify against a defendant doctor. See earlier posts here and here. The Jacksonville Business Journal has the story.
