Good for Texas, good for U.S.

Abstract

The way U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess, MD (R-Texas), sees it, the 2003 Texas medical liability reforms are so successful that the rest of the country should follow suit. That is why a number of Texas members of Congress - both Republican and Democrat - are either authoring or cosponsoring legislation to pass national legislative reforms similar to those in Texas or, at least, to ensure that no federal action could negate state-level reforms.
