A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

MEMORIALIZING CONGRESS TO CONSIDER THE SOUTH CAROLINA MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LIABILITY JOINT UNDERWRITING ASSOCIATION BEFORE ADOPTING A REFORM PACKAGE DEALING WITH MEDICAL INSURANCE.

Whereas, the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Medical Malpractice Liability Insurance Joint Underwriting Association has determined that in 1991 the association achieved net profits in excess of the required surplus and reasonable loss reserves retained in the conduct of business of the association, that excess profits of $6,000,000 constitute surplus, and that this $6,000,000 has been distributed to the policyholders; and

Whereas, this dividend amounted to the return of fifty-five percent of the South Carolina Medical Malpractice Liability Insurance Joint Underwriting Association's 1991 earned premiums; and

Whereas, South Carolina has the lowest medical malpractice insurance rates in the nation. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of South Carolina memorialize Congress to consider the South Carolina Medical Malpractice Liability Joint Underwriting Association before adopting a reform package dealing with medical insurance.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, and all members of the United States Congress.
