Two medical malpractice bills are expected to soon go directly from introduction to the Senate floor, skipping the usual committee hearing process. Opponents call the measures "political grandstanding" by Republican senators, but some long-time lobbyists for med-mal liability legislation say the measures are a genuine shot at reform.

Is it political grandstanding by Republican senators? Is it an effort to make Senate Democrats look bad? Is it a shot at genuine and fair “reform,” or is it “Let the consumer be damned?”
