I wonder how much revenue the local affiliates would lose if there were ever significant tort reform in the state

The legislature is saturated by "republicans" who are plaintiff lawyers in real life. The whole thing is fail theater. When you see anything come out of the legislature labeled as "tort reform", just know it didn't pass because they truly believed it would reform anything to point where it actually provided relief to the constituency in the form of increased competition and lower rates. Because accomplishing that would directly impact their bottom line. So when you hear people tout that "tort reform didn't lower rates!" think about why that is the case.
