An informal group of doctors, insurance companies and hospitals are pushing for a medical malpractice panel they see as the best way to heal rising insurance costs.
A bill they back was passed by the Senate recently.
At the heart of the plan is the creation of a panel that serves as a buffer between juries and the people who think they have suffered at the hands of doctors.
This is the measure that the healthcare community has invested hundred of thousands of dollars in for the past two years.
But as New Hampshire Public Radio's Dan Gorenstein reports, it's not clear whether this panel system will treat what ails malpractice premium increases.
