I have no idea what Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham was even thinking by raising the cap on medical malpractice from 750K to 6 million!!! This is more proof in the pudding the Governor is lost. When I first heard of this I was dumbfounded that the Governor is so out of touch with real life! HOLY COW!!!!! If the Governor would have her way, many medical facilities would close. I have to pinch myself to see if I am still alive, I cannot even beleive I azm reporting on a story like this! The Governor needs to be replaced in the next election.
I just got this news release this morning:
Santa Fe – HB 11, Medical Malpractice Changes law, amended by Rep. Rebecca Dow (T or C) to include an extended timeframe for implementation. Following a long debate, the amendment was accepted and the measure passed the body with bipartisan support on a vote of 63-2.
“I think every New Mexican should be proud of the work we did today to come together across the aisle and make sure that hardworking medical providers are not left by the wayside,” said House Republican Caucus Chair, Rep. Rebecca Dow (T or C). “Only Governor Lujan Grisham would prioritize raising the cap on medical malpractice from 750K to 6 million, in the middle of a health emergency, while constantly changing her endless executive orders. While our hospitals are asking for stability, predictability, and the tools they need to recruit and retain staff, Lujan Grisham signed HB75, forcing upon our providers a 20%-40% increase in health care premiums. New Mexicans can and will come together on these issues that matter, this vote and agreement proves that.”
HB11 now moves forward to the NM Senate for consideration.
