“Mr. Speaker, I just disagree with my friend, the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Stupak). One cannot argue with the facts that in California the premiums in the last 27 years have gone up 167 percent. The rest of the country is 500 percent. Doctors are not leaving California like they are in New York, and we have heard testimony from other States like Pennsylvania. So the reality is there is a result based on the acts of that Democratic legislature and Governor 27 years ago. And in addition, we know the CBO in scoring this says that this legislation versus the current law as it is today would reduce the premiums paid by 25 to 30 percent for medical malpractice.”
