New Mexico is out of balance compared to other states when it comes to our medical malpractice system. NM has more large claims (above $500,000) per 1,000 physicians than our neighboring states and the national average.

Like Katie, there are so many other New Mexican patients and families that are ready to see meaningful medical malpractice reform, so that they can access timely and quality health care.

New Mexico's health care crisis will get much worse without action. 💔

NM is an outlier compared to other states when it comes to our medical malpractice system. NM has more large claims (above $500,000) per 1,000 physicians than our neighboring states and the national average.

This makes it difficult to recruit and retain health care workers.💔
