By Nick Mochlmann
102nd Legislative District
(Editor** Note: Thl* week
wc begin publication of a
new column by Nicholas B.
Mochlmann, state
representative from the
102nd Legislative District.
Rep. Moehlmann will be
commenting on bills and
happenings in Harrisburg of
special interest to residents
of this area, and also will be
answering questions sent to
him by our readers.)
The controversy over
medical malpractice in
surance will heat up over the
next few months. This is
likely to be the most complex
and bitter issue of the
session. The interests of the
medical profession and the
insurance companies are
direct opposites and both
sides have the resources to
make a good bit of noise. In
the end, both sides will have
to bend somewhat. Where
there are conflicting in
terests the best solution
usually dosen’t make anyone
very happy.
Medical malpractice in
surance is a complex subject
and one not susceptible to
easy answers.
Three far-reaching
proposals have been dropped
into the legislative hopper.
The first, House Bill 805, is
the bill written by the
Pennsylvania Medical
Society. Most members of
the General Assembly are
now receiving great stacks
of mail in support of House
Bill 805. Unfortunately, the
bill limits the amount of
recovery for injury or death.
The limits the bill sets are
very low. This is not sur
prising since the doctors
would rather not be sued at
all, but the result is that
House Bill 805 probably is
unconstitutional.
m
Speaker Herb Fineman
has introduced House Bill
1367 which would create a
Joint Underwriting
Association financed by
assessments on all insurers
writing health and accident
insurance in Pennsylvania.
The insurance companies,
who would rather get out of
the malpractice field
altogether, do not find
Fineman’s proposal
amusing.
House Bill 1129, a
Republican-sponsored bill,
would define malpractice in
order to eliminate awards
where the patient is simply
unhappy with the result. The
definition would try to
Livestock operators got a
break this year when the
Secretaries of Agriculture
and the Interior issued a
moratorium on a scheduled
increase in grazing fees.
Without the moratorium, the
fee for grazing on lands
administered by Interior’s
Bureau of Land
Management would have
gone from $1 to $1.51 per
animal unit month (AUM),
and from $l.ll to $1.60 per
AUM on Forest Service
lands. An AUM is the
equivalent of one cow
grazing 1 month. About
25,000 livestock operators
now hold permits to graze
roughly 9 million cattle and
sheep a total of 19 million
AUM on lands ad

require that actual
negligence be found. House
Bill 1129 would also require
the Court to secure expert
medical witnesses who
would not have any con
nection to the matter at issue
and would be presumably
neutral.
None of these bills is
perfect and, in fact, none of
them may be particularly
desirable.
New grind-and-mix
supplement as special
as your horses.
New Wayne Pro-Pel turns a ho-hum grmd-and
mix feed into a tailor-made ration for your
horses
Simply add these fortified pellets to your gram
and roughage and you’ll see the difference in
robust health and vigor. Horses respond
because Pro-Pel feeding matches the special
needs of their single-stomach digestive systems
- unique among roughage-eating domestic
animals (Supplements designed for cattle
simply aren’t suited for horses.)
In Pro-Pel, you provide high protein plus
needed minerals and vitamins - all in readily
digested form.
See the real difference in animal vigor when
you switch to this new supplement Ask your
Wayne Dealer for Pro-Pel pellets - for your
mixing or his. If you don’t know who he is, write
Allied Mills, Inc, 110 North Wacker Drive,
Chicago, IL 60606
Your Wayne Dealer cares. That’s what makes
the difference.

Because we felt we would
need time to identify the best
solution, we hove co
sponsored House Bill 140 ft
which would freeze the
malpractice rates at June,
1975 levels. Hopefully, the
General Assembly will agree
to this so we can avoid the
poor legislation which
usually results from a panic
situation.
The final answer will
probably be a combination of
the measures new being
considered.

to ask your state
representative? Or a bill you
