The doctor drain

Article Abstract:

The rising cost of medical malpractice liability insurance and low reimbursements surgeons receive in the era of managed care lead to an exodus of New Jersey doctors. Doctors, who are slightly helped by a compromise measure signed into law in 2004, would like the state legislature to form a task force of hospital representatives, physicians, insurers and lawyers to address the difficulty facing the medical community.

Looking for a cure

Article Abstract:

Physicians in New Jersey are greatly affected by malpractice complaints by which they are charged a high malpractice insurance premium. Though a new law which is enacted by the state Legislature in 2004 to reform healthcare and malpractice helps doctors, it excludes a key provision that would have placed a cap on the pain-and-suffering portion of awards, representing nearly two-thirds of a malpractice settlement.
