On a 110-4 vote, House members approved Senate changes in the measure, advancing it to Gov. James R. Thompson, who is ex­ pected to sign the plan. The Senate approved the measure (H1604), negotiated by the four legislative leaders, on a 57-0 vote last week. "Every citizen pays through their health care bills for these lawsuits," said House Republican leader Lee Daniels, sponsor of the plan. "The difficulty of obtaining in­ surance at reasonable rates has forced many health care pro­ viders to curtail or cease to render their services. This matter seriously affects the medical pro­ fession, and, thus the public welfare." The bill is backed by doctors' groups and Opposed by the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, which has charged the plan "effectively strips the rights of victims to full, fair, just and right compensa­ tion." The legislation creates a screen­ ing panel to review prospective medical malpractice- suits, for their merits and. permits doctors to countersue lawyers for frivolous suits. • It also allows portions of large damage awards to be paid out in installments. The first $250,000 of an award must be paid in a lump sum and the remianing amount parceled out over the lire expec­ tancy of the injured person. Damage awards also could be reduced by the entire amount of outside payments, such as in­ surance.

Philip Braverman, economist at Briggs Schaedle & Co., govern­ ment bond subsidiary of Irving Trust, saw still lower rates ahead. "The Fed is shifting into a more accommodative stance* and the outlook is for continuing relaxa­ tion in interest rate pressures," Braverman said.
