To establish the Commission on Medical Malpractice Insurance.

H.R. 1044 would create a federal commission to investigate why medical malpractice insurance costs have increased for healthcare providers. The commission would examine the business practices of insurance companies—including how they set prices and manage investments—as well as the impact of jury awards in malpractice lawsuits. By identifying the root causes of rising premiums, the bill aims to provide a factual basis for future policies that could help stabilize insurance costs for doctors and maintain affordable access to care for patients.
