Virginia General Assembly urged to pass emergency malpractice aid
Winchester Memorial Hospital administrator Carl S. Napps urged the Virginia General Assembly to enact emergency legislation establishing a Joint Underwriting Association to provide malpractice insurance for physicians and hospitals. The move, backed by the Virginia Hospital Association, would pool private insurers to broaden coverage and stabilize costs, with a medical review panel and liability cap bills also supported. Commissioner John Day said the priority is insurance availability, not premium reduction, and the JUA would keep private control while sharing costs.
