A special Wyoming legislative session called to address rising medical malpractice insurance rates resulted in the passage of three bills. Governor Dave Freudenthal signed the bills in early August. One bill will help doctors in the state pay for insurance, offering $13 million in low-interest state loans. Another bill will add up to six Wyoming medical students to the University of Washington. Another bill authorized several studies related to Wyoming’s health care system, including the geographic distribution of physicians in the state, a self-insurance pool for physicians and a medical errors reporting system.
