"GTT"-Gone to Texas
The Wall Street Journal recently published an article
addressing the noteworthy health care reforms passed by the Texas legislature. These reforms, enacted both in 2003 and 2005,
have proven to be extremely successful.
So much so that the Texas
Medical Liability Trust, one of the largest malpractice insurance companies in
the state, has cut their premiums by 35%. These reforms have also resulted in a competitive malpractice insurance
industry in Texas,
with over 30 companies competing for business. As well as setting off a profusion of medical professionals moving to Texas, most
going into the rural or underserved parts of the state.

| OCPA FaxLine Report
The Tulsa World
headline on April 25 predicted "Lawsuit reform dead this session." In
an AP story on March 9 the headline read, "Henry vetoes lawsuit reform
bill." A May 13 Journal Record headline noted, "House veto override on
lawsuit reform bill falls short." Three headlines from three different
news sources properly note the state of lawsuit reform in Oklahoma.
Once again, no relief is in sight and the damages are coming at a time
when the economic competitiveness between states is more crucial than
ever.
