Small Town Doctor Fights Malpractice Insurance Law
Canton Pa. doctor Orlo G McCoy at 63 years old challenges a state mandate requiring physicians to carry malpractice insurance amid rising premiums that push some doctors to retire or leave the profession. The piece notes about 500 physicians notified to obtain insurance and describes a broader fight over Act 111 Joint Underwriting Association, rising Philadelphia claims, and the push by the Pennsylvania Medical Society to form alternative coverage. Also includes a secondary Penn State study on calculators boosting self-perceived competence.
