It’s all defensive medicine. This is a legal issue, not a medical issue.
So why not reform the legal system and let the doctors practice medicine?
Also — testing saves lives. If you don’t test, many deadly or at least serious diseases are not uncovered until it’s too late, not to mention, that by then the treatments are more expensive and less helpful.
The emphasis should be on testing, to discover diseases early, when they are more treatable, and less expensive to treat. The cost of testing is nothing in comparison to the cost of treatment when diseases are discovered in more advanced stages, because there was no testing early enough.
Exactly, reduce the Medical cost but increase the litigation. Bambi taking care of his Lawyer Homies.
Bingo. Dead on. Pass malpractice caps and you will see a decline in testing.
