Pennsylvania's Lawmakers Could Learn From Texas
Posted by Clark Venable on 6/8/2007
Texas enacted tort reform in 2003, capping damage awards at $250,000. In an article titled "Insurance companies, doctors flock to Texas" David Hendricks passes along some facts I hope Pennsylvania legislators take to heart:
- Malpractice insurance rates have fallen an average of 21%
- The number of companies offering malpractice insurance in the state has risen from four to thirty
- Malpractice lawsuits have fallen 50%
- Doctors are coming to Texas, as evidenced by 2,250 pending applications for medical licensure
