The Iowa Medical Society applauds Governor Reynolds' strong support of medical tort reform as one of her top legislative priorities. In order for Iowa to be a safe and accessible state for medical practice, we need to protect our physicians with a hard cap on non-economic damages.

Now is the time to contact your legislators and encourage them to support the governor’s priority of enacting reasonable caps on non-economic damages. In addition, please register to attend Physician Day on the Hill and use your voice to fight for Iowa's healthcare community.

To quote the Governor, "We can’t put this off another year; we need to get this done."
