New Mexico lawmakers have made a significant contribution to health care access in the legislative session, with a package of reforms aimed at stabilizing New Mexico's medical malpractice environment. The reforms include a new medical school at the University of New Mexico and rural residency rotations, increased loan repayment support for physicians, and a $10,000 tax credit for practicing doctors. Additionally, the hospital supplemental payment program is now permanent, allowing community hospitals to plan and invest with certainty. These measures also address issues such as the legal environment driving away providers and the hospital infrastructure under pressure. The New Mexico Hospital Association is grateful for the partnership shown by legislators and Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for their commitment to improving our health care system.
