Tex Med. 2011 Sep 1;107(9):12-8. Good for patients, good for doctors. Conde C. Abstract

The medical liability reforms the Texas Medical Association pushed through eight years ago are still paying off. Texas has more physicians, thereby increasing patients' access to care; liability insurance premiums have been drastically cut; and there are fewer lawsuits. But TMA leaders say physicians must remain vigilant and protect the noneconomic damage cap and other provisions won through tort reform.
