The Richmond paper has this story ("Birth-injury aid's false expectations result in disarray," 1/2/05) describing problems with the Birth-related Neurological Injury Compensation Program.
The article concludes:
"This year, obstetricians are at the head of the line seeking General Assembly help. Their objectives: tighten entry requirements for premature infants into the birth-injury program, limit awards for pain and suffering in malpractice suits, increase Medicaid reimbursements to doctors who treat indigent patients, and preserve access to medical care."
