On the recordMay 2, 1995

I am pleased the issue and the problem has finally come to this point, and I want to express my admiration to my colleagues on both sides of this issue for the thoughtful remarks they have made over the last days. We have heard a variety of views expressed, of course, but I am pleased to note there is broad agreement that our present system for compensating patients who have been injured by medical malpractice is ineffective, inefficient, and in many respects unfair. The system promotes the overuse of medical tests and procedures and simply diverts too much money away from victims.
