Gov. Reynolds Statement Iowa Legislature Passing Medical Malpractice Reform 

 

DES MOINES – Today, Governor Reynolds issued the following statement after medical malpractice tort reform passed the Iowa legislature: 

 

“I’m grateful to the legislature for passing reasonable medical malpractice reform, allowing Iowa’s health care industry to become stronger and more accessible. To the OBGYNs and physicians who have been worried about practicing in Iowa, we are ready for you! These reforms balance the needs of injured patients with the needs of all Iowans to have a robust health care system. As I said in my Condition of the State, these reforms could not wait another year.”
