in Sections 6-5-480 to 6-5-488, inclusive, 27-26-1 to 27-26-4, inclusive, and 27-26-20 to
27-26-43, inclusive, and Sections 6-5-540 to 6-5-552, inclusive, it is the declared intent
of this Legislature to ensure that quality medical services continue to be available at reasonable

and other health care providers which otherwise would not be considered necessary. The spiraling
cost and decreasing availability of essential medical services caused by the threat of litigation
constitutes a danger to the health and safety of the citizens of...
