Wow, I knew these guys were scumbags, but apparently their chutzpah knows no boundaries. I wonder why, if the only reason for high premiums was bad hoistorical investments by insurers, California and other states who have legislated limis on non-economic damages haven't experienced the same crisis and rate increases as NJ? Did their insurers just make better investment decisions? Or why did companies that write med-mal in CA and NJ pull out of (or dramatically increase premium in) NJ but not CA? Wouldn't poor investment results affect all of the insurance written, regardless of states?

I just don't understand how any thinking individual can possibly lend any credence to the lawyers' obviuosly self-serving, demonstrably untrue assertion as to the causes of the problem in NJ. Baffling. Hope none of you NJ residents expect to have a high risk pregnancy - you've made your state one where no doctor will be willing to help you. Good luck.
