Why suggest reducing malpractice insurance and reducing malpractice compensation instead of reducing malpractice?
- panzer_wyrm 9y agoFirst because reducing malpractice is a goal that does not depend on the way a system is funded. We should reduce medical errors full stop. The two you mentioned give direct costs increase and indirect in the form of defensive medicine. UnNecessary treatments because the doctor is scared of potential lawsuits could event hurt patients since there is no such thing as procedure without risk or complications.
- jessaustin 9y agoConsidering the plague of lawyers with which USA is burdened, there is no reason to believe that reducing malpractice would reduce malpractice compensation or malpractice insurance.
