Can't find a doctor? It's Time for a Change
"Doctors are leaving New Mexico. I want to make it possible for them to stay."
Kurstin's Plan
What happened?
In 2021, the my opponent voted to strip away protections for doctors and created a cash cow for trial lawyers. The trial lawyer sponsor even changed the purpose of the act which was originally "to promote the health and welfare of the people of New Mexico by making available professional liability insurance for health care providers in New Mexico."
The result... doctors are leaving New Mexico.
Since the passage of HB 75, medical malpractice insurance premiums have skyrocketed by over 33% - the 2nd highest in the nation! Not surprisingly, New Mexico is in the bottom half of states for primary care and physician availability. The number of doctors lags behind patient demand resulting in longer wait times for patients and physician burnout.
The solution:
Restore the original purpose of the Medical Malpractice Act to make professional liability insurance available to healthcare providers. Institute common sense caps on how much trial attorneys can make in order to keep our providers, lower the cost of malpractice insurance, and reduce the cost of care for patients.
