 <title>Medical Malpractice Insurance: Multiple Factors Have Contributed to Premium Rate Increases</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>This testimony focuses on the factors that have contributed to
the recent increases in insurance premium rates and the 	 
differences in rates among states that have passed varying levels
of tort reform laws. Our findings are based on two reports we	 
recently issued addressing various aspects of the recent	 
increases in medical malpractice insurance rates. Recognizing	 
that the medical malpractice market varies considerably across	 
states, as part of these reviews we judgmentally selected a	 
number of states and conducted more in-depth reviews in each of  
those states. Both our analyses and our conclusions are based in 
part on data and information we received from the states we	 
visited and in part on analyses of national data from various	 
sources.</abstract>
