A 2006 report in the New England Journal of Medicine said that 54% of the malpractice dollar went for lawyers and administrative costs. Also, many would-be clients could not find legal assistance because possible claims would not be high enough to warrant a lawyer to take a claim.
It’s obviously a poor system and needs correction. Yet, despite ObamaCare and left-leaning politicians who desired health care “reform”, nothing was included in plans to impose a correction to this malfunctioning medical tort system.
As evidenced by how the Swiss operate health care and medical malpractice, and noted in the past by me, it is possible for impartial judges to see that patients seeking redress are compensated when injured. Without fraud or hefty legal fees.
But lawyer political lobbies have made such reform impossible in the U.S.
