MICRA was put in place in 1975, not 1974, and it was not voter approved, it was put in place by the legislature.

It also has done NOTHING to keep medical liability rates low and here’s the California insurance commissioner talking about that. http://goo.gl/xWnjdq

Now the litigation lobby have a good political opening to do it on their own, with a generous mark-up.
