Our nation's medical liability system is broken. Skyrocketing medical liability premiums -- $200,000 a year or more in some high-risk specialties – are forcing physicians to limit services, retire early, or move to a state with reforms where premiums are more stable. The crisis is threatening access to care for patients in states without liability reforms.
