: TortDeform.comGreat Op-Ed on Malpractice Reform
By Justinian Lane
I liked this one.
Washington lawmakers who advocate for medical malpractice reform assume they know what goes on in doctors' offices. They say physicians order unnecessary tests because they fear being sued. So-called "defensive medicine" drives up health spending, the argument goes.
They don't acknowledge many doctors order tests because they're trying to do a thorough job with patients. They rarely mention too much testing is a result of this country's "fee for service" system of paying doctors. The more care they provide, the more they bill.
