Gov. John G. Rowland said Tuesday that he is disappointed the legislature isn't planning to pass a bill to address the medical malpractice insurance problem. Rowland, a Republican, supports a cap on certain jury awards as a way to cut insurance premium costs. Speaker of the House Moira Lyons, D-Stamford, said she still has not seen a proposal that physicians, patients rights advocates, attorneys and health insurance companies agree will lower insurance rates for doctors and protect patients.
