In Texas, 2005 limits on damages in malpractice cases has led to a 27 percent decrease in malpractice premiums. An additional half-dozen states have cut frivolous suits through similar means. Obama's decision to do yet more state testing, rather than propose legislative changes, leaves critics worrying that he has no intention of implementing nationwide reform.
So if Texas saw a 27% reduction in cost for insurance premiums. Don't you think this would be an effective tool for this? Or are democrats so tied into the trial lawyer association that they cannot enact this in any bill or even in a stand alone bill.
