Raw costs may go up, as better coverage obviously means more health care for more people, especially very ill people. One reason I think health care is no longer suitable for the private marketplace is because of the enormous rise in costs...of drugs, of experimental procedures, of pallative care for the morbidly ill, of fraud, etc.
In Florida, the parents of a birth-injured child have no right to sue. Instead, there is a recovery fund, with a cap on the damage award and a prohibition against punitive damages. Nonetheless, med mal in general has not declined in price, and Ob/Gyn med mal has not declined either. IMO, one reason for this is that Florida has rendered itself a haven for bad Ob/Gyns who no longer need fear suit.
