Doctors Strike Continues Prompting Hospital Action and Legislation
Medical doctors in several states continue a strike after rejecting hospital offers to cover malpractice premiums. In California the dispute triggers potential legal action against doctors refusing to man operating rooms as hearings begin on eight malpractice bills. Illinois proposes a 500000 cap on settlements while Michigan plans state backed insurance for 3000 doctors. In South San Francisco 600 teachers vote to strike for higher pay amid a 19 percent district offer versus a seven percent demand.
