Hospital Crisis and Obamacare

You have to be careful how that 2.4 percent of healthcare is calculated. They usually just lump everything, including pharmacy, equipment, home health aides, hospitalization, and etc and etc into that denominator. If you take the parts where doctors are responsible for, number becomes increasingly larger.

Furthermore, I think that 2.4 percent is a low ball number. I know that CYA occurs fairly frequently.

The study's authors are quite clear about how that 2.4 percent was calculated, and what it includes:

"Some of the numbers bandied about in policy discussion were quite imaginative and we wanted a more defensible estimate."

For the study, Mello and her colleagues analyzed numerous areas of the medical liability system, including payments made to malpractice plaintiffs, defensive medicine costs, lawyer fees and other administrative costs, along with the costs of lost clinician work time."
