REIN IN LAW$UIT MADNESS: NYERS

By KENNETH LOVETT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

April 29, 2003 -- ALBANY - An overwhelming majority of New York voters -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- support placing caps on runaway liability awards, a new poll shows.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The poll, conducted for New Yorkers for Civil Justice Reform - a
coalition of business, medical, government and insurance groups
supporting tort reform - found that nearly 80 percent believe there are
too many lawsuits.

And while the Democrat-controlled Assembly continues to oppose changing the civil justice system, the new survey shows that a high number of Democratic voters support the concept.

The poll found 62 percent of New York voters support a cap on non-economic pain and suffering awards.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
