The Maryland House of Delegates has passed a bill to enable doctors to get refunds on their malpractice insurance premiums.

Republican delegates failed in two attempts to amend the bill by reducing the subsidy to doctors in favor of higher Medicaid reimbursements and repealing the 2 percent health maintenance organization premium tax that lawmakers used to pay for the subsidy of doctors’ insurance.
