Effects of Proposals to Limit Costs Related to Medical Malpractice
http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/106xx/doc10641/10-09-Tort_Reform.pdf
Attempts to estimate medical cost savings based on both lowered medical malpractice insurance premiums and reduced use of diagnostic tests and other forms of defensive health care to avoid potential exposure to lawsuits. Estimates that about $11 billion in medical costs in 2009 might have been saved if tort reform proposals like those in the illustration had been enacted. From the Congressional Budget Office.
