Kansas medical malpractice laws spark mixed reactions
Kansas lawmakers pass a 12 bill package creating a $10 million state stabilization fund funded by a premium surcharge. The measure requires providers to carry at least $300 000 in malpractice coverage and shortens filing deadlines to four years for adults and eight years for minors. Critics warn the poor may be disproportionately affected and consumer costs may not drop. Additional panels and reporting requirements aim to curb excessive damages while fostering continued education for license renewal.
