Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine recently completed a study that supports what medical malpractice attorneys have been saying for decades: malpractice lawsuits are not the cause of soaring healthcare costs.
Researchers found that huge medical malpractice damages awards get in news headlines, but account for less than .05 percent of all U.S. healthcare expenses. The study should give a black eye to politicians who continue blaming malpractice suits for healthcare costs.
