Quoting from the article: "Rendell first proposed the subsidy to help doctors afford rising insurance premiums until tougher restrictions on filing medical malpractice lawsuits designed to lower insurance costs could take effect."

If the "tougher restrictions" have already been already enacted and are just waiting to take effect, then it may not be so bad to use these funds as an interim measure. The obvious counterpoint, however, is that this is year three -- and just exactly how long does it take for enacted legislation to take effect in PA? Doesn't sound like they have been enacted.
