And if those states use a free market to dictate the cost of malpractice insurance, it means it is cheaper in those states than in others, for obvious reasons

And I believe that is true. In most tort reform states the premiums for malpractice insurance have gone down, in some cases by a considerable amount. But we're talking medical insurance premiums here, and I haven't seen any studies that suggest that tort reform has reduced those.

In a FREE market, when costs to the business offering the service go down, prices to the consumer go down. If they don’t something else is at play.
