Ding...Ding....Ding!! This is a huge factor for increased cost across the board for Americans. Doctors are people too and make mistakes. Even if the Dr did everything he could, a lawyer can make millions by swaying 12 people that weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty. It cost millions even if the lawsuit is successfully defended.
Our legal system is a double edged sword. It can protect, but in many cases it is costing Americans billions because there is always a plaintiff & lawyer looking to hit the lottery. business from health care to McDonalds must raise cost to cover liability & insurance. The only true winners are the lawyers.
