H. R. 3962: Your Healthcare Future

The bill is in print.

This gem from page 1432:

A state shall be eligible for incentive payments for enactine medical liability reform in compliance with the following:
(4) CONTENTS OFALTERNATIVEMEDICALLI-
ABILITYLAW.—The contents of an alternative liabil-
ity law are in accordance with this paragraph if—
(A) the litigation alternatives contained in
the law consist of certificate of merit, early
offer, or both; and

(B) the law does not limit attorneys’ fees
or impose caps on damages.

So, this bill that is supposed to cut the costs of healthcare is going to pay states to enact laws to keep doing the same things they have always done for medical malpractice lawyers.

LOL
