Unlike the House, the NH senate supports a real screening panel
“Senators approved a bill which would create a medical malpractice screening panel designed to lower the cost of insurance for doctors by weeding out frivolous lawsuits. The problem is last week the House overwhelmingly passed a measure which is at the opposite end of spectrum, setting up a collision course between the two bodies on the issue.”
The Senate supports a panel that consists of a judge, lawyer and physician – while the House wants a judge only.
