And you still didn't answer the question: if MICRA is doing such a good job of keeping litigation costs down why are malpratice rates so high in California and why have so many insurance companys in California disontinued providing medical insurance?

The Texas legislature passed HB 4 and the voters in Texas voted for Proposition 12 in 2003. (YAY! TEXAS!!!! ARE YOU WATCHING THIS GAME???? HOLY SHIT!) We have tort reform. The non-profit insurance company dropped it's rates automatically by 11 percent. The for-profit insurance companies raised their rates in 2004.
I suspect that the shareholders are much more interested in making money than providing medical malpractice insurance that is affordable.
