Where will the doctors go?

A group of New Hampshire doctors says that malpractice reform is needed before doctors are forced to leave the state:

"There is a line drawn in the sand over the issue, with doctors on one side and trial lawyers on the other. The medical society wants a screening panel system identical to the one that has been operating in Maine since 1986. Sen. John Gallus, R-Berlin, has sponsored Senate Bill 214, which would do just that. However, the New Hampshire Trial Lawyers Association says it will agree to a screening panel, but is opposed to the Maine system"
