Can you exapnd on this? It is my sense that verdicts have been rather static, even when controlled for MICRA or other tort reform efforts, but I don't have any evidence I can put my hands on without too much effort.
As to yourt criticism of the insurance lobby, I think you are overstating it, but you do add another wrinkle to the issue showing why both cost fo care and access issues defy easy solution.
