                          MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

  Mr. GREGG. Mr. President, later on, we are going to move to the 
medical malpractice bill, which is an important piece of legislation. 
It will allow women, especially, to have access to OB/GYN doctors, some 
of whom are giving up their practices of delivering babies because of 
the cost of medical liability insurance. It will also address the issue 
of doctors in emergency rooms and make sure those doctors are able to 
practice in emergency rooms so people, when they are seriously injured 
and they go to an emergency room, will have doctors. We will be on that 
bill at 11 o'clock.
