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
