Sometimes I get downvoted for mentioning this on HN - but somewhere I read the facile seeming comment that the reason we underestimate the impact of medical errors is because there is no billing or procedure code for "oops, killed the patient". I briefly worked for a health insurer, and got the impression that everything revolves around the standard codes. And HEDIS and NCQA and stuff.
