Tort reform works: Mississippi is the latest state to reap the benefits. “The Medical Assurance Company of Mississippi announced recently that malpractice rates for the physicians it insures – about 70 percent of the physicians in the state – will decrease by 10 percent in 2006.

The company also gave physicians a 10 percent refund on their 2005 premiums.

Hospitals also report a drop in the frequency of medical malpractice claims.”
