Idaho House approves medical malpractice insurance bill
The Idaho House passed a measure by 51 to 17 to guarantee 60 percent of doctors will have malpractice liability insurance after June 1. The bill creates a joint underwriting association funded by premiums and a stabilization fund with possible surcharges or tax write offs if funds run dry. It caps individual claims at 150000 and group claims at 300000, and ties any reciprocal insurer to passage of another Senate bill. Lawmakers warn of premium increases and a potential insurance monopoly.
