Texas’ largest physician carrier lowers 2008 medical insurance rates - San Antonio Business Journal:
TMLT has reduced rates five consecutive years since state lawmakers passed medical liability tort reform in 2003. The insurance group cut rates 12 percent in 2004; 5 percent in 2005; 5 percent in 2006; 7.5 percent in 2007 and now 6.5 percent in 2008.
The net effect of these cumulative rate reductions is a 31 percent drop from 2003 rates and some $200 million in savings on premiums.
So has anyone seen their health insurance rates go down?
