Otherwise Fox Lies would go out of business

But Texas passed tort reform in 2003 and since then

In spite of rhetoric to the contrary, the data show that the health care system in Texas has grown worse since 2003 by nearly every measure. For example:

• The percentage of uninsured people in Texas has increased, remaining the highest in the country with a quarter of Texans now uninsured;
• The cost of health insurance in the state has more than doubled;
• The cost of health care in Texas (measured by per patient Medicare reimbursements) has increased at nearly double the national average; and
• Spending increases for diagnostic testing (measured by per patient Medicare reimbursements) have far exceeded the national average.

“Members of Congress have conjured the supposed benefits of the Texas law out of thin air,” said David Arkush, director of Public Citizen’s Congress Watch division. “The only winners have been the insurance companies and, to a lesser extent, doctors.”

What about the patients?
