He noted premiums have surged 300 to 500 percent and cited hospital costs such as Burlington Medical Center paying $600,000 and Mary Hitchcock Hospital paying $29,000 in the prior year. He described bills S169 S170 S171 and S172 and their provisions, including arbitration, a doctor review panel, and informed consent changes, stressing that passed measures won t end the crisis but may offer a breathing space.
