Medical Malpractice Liability

If the costs of medical liability, professional negligence was 26 billion dollars in 2003, what would they be if we use taxpayer money to add 40 million new patients?

It also means another 40 million customers. If you were an insurance company with the dear, like a sky diving business, you say "no" to 40 million new patients? You're not factoring in a major key figure: physicians greatly benefit from all new patients. Even now, have you ever heard of a poor doctor in America?

:: Update::
If done correctly, it will actually put Americans across the board (rich or poor) a ton of money. Take a look at the French model of health, his great success. French citizens pay less for health care, live longer, and actually receive better care overall. If we get the right people we can take this model and further improve and adapt to America.

Our uninsured costs the nation 58 billion per year. 67% of all bankruptcies in this country are medical bankruptcies by people who have insurance.

the current health system to ruin us. 26 billion sounds high to me. Let me check.

The cost of health care industry in the United States about 2.5 trillion annually but leaves 46 million uninsured Americans and poor access to medical care.

But both the GAO and the CBO now question their radical conclusion. When the CBO has attempted to replicate the methods economists from Stanford to other kinds of ailments they found found "no evidence that restrictions on tort liability reduce medical spending."

"In short, the evidence available to date does not make a strong case that restricting malpractice liability would have a significant effect, positive or negative, on economic efficiency," said the CBO.

Obama has higher tax us. Surprising.

Do not make no difference. They will all be on the option "government"

Have you ever tried to sue the government?

if your solution is just the Republican die. Guess you thought of everything.

Medical malpractice is usually the result of medical errors and ill-treatment. You do not know the 40 million additional new patients would effect the quality of care they receive.

I think one of things that the left should be willing to consider is changing the way that suits medical malpractice are made (and I say this as someone on the left).

There should be no limit on actual damages, but I think we should seriously reconsider the virtues of limiting punitive damages or at least making it difficult to award punitive damages for medical malpractice. This would reduce medical costs and certainly the liability insurance premiums.

It is true that lawyers are the losers in such a primary change, and they are the main obstacles to tort reform. But before pointing the finger, we must recognize that we are their customers.

Cheers.

I'm too lazy to look. How do you think of emergency room visits used as costs of primary care? Or are people waiting to visit Dr. until their problems are really bad? Hard to say!

You get dizzy trying to imagine that many zeros.

Maybe we should let them all die? Then they will not cause headaches

Where are you going to get 15 percent more new doctors will be required to serve all the new patients?

Not with a stroke of pen that is for sure.

They are probably 40 billion dollars when you consider the wasted legal fees

It's cute. You think that other prosecutions enrich lawyers, judges, legal sector, legal and universities in the United States.
