What’s the big deal about Tort Reform? Physicians made it happen!
2013 is the 10th anniversary of Prop 12. Look what this tort reform measure has accomplished for Texas:
• An average 46.24-percent reduction in physicians’ liability premiums (cuts and dividends) — $1.9 billion total
• A record 3,630 new doctors licensed in 2012 • 28,000 new physicians licensed since Sept. 1, 2003 • Fewer frivolous lawsuits — doctors have more time for patients • 88 percent more new physician license applications in the past four years than in the four years before reform
• More high-risk specialists (growth rate more than twice the population’s)
• More pediatric subspecialists (growth rate 10 times the population’s) • More than double the number of geriatricians
Together we can make more good things happen. Go to

Texas Medical Association Political Action Committee (TEXPAC) is a bi-partisan political action committee of TMA and affiliated with the American Medical Association Political Action Committee (AMPAC) for congressional contribution purposes only. Its goal is to support and elect pro-medicine candidates on both the federal and state level. Voluntary contributions by individuals to TEXPAC should be written on personal checks. Any corporate funds or funds attributed to individuals or professional association (PAs) that would exceed legal contribution limits will be placed in the TEXPAC administrative account to support political education activities unless a refund is requested. Federal Election Law prohibits TEXPAC from soliciting donations from persons who are not either TMA members or TMA Executive/Administrative personnel and their families. All donations received other than from these persons will be returned. Contributions are not limited to the suggested amounts. TEXPAC will not fa- vor or disadvantage anyone based on the amounts or failure to make contributions. Contributions are subject to the prohibitions and limitations of the Federal Election Campaign Act. Contributions or gifts to TEXPAC or any CMS PAC are not deductible as charitable contributions or business expenses for Federal income tax purposes. Federal law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and name of employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year. To satisfy this regulation, please include your occupation and employer information in the space provided. Contributions from a practice business account must disclose the name of the practice and the allocation of contributions for each contributing owner. Should you have any questions, please call TEXPAC at (512) 370-1361.
