How much of the high cost of health care due to cost of providers protecting themselves from lawsuits?

Me asked:
Since most congressmen are lawyers what are the chances of ever getting tort reform in the present system?

When Obama’s health care system is forced upon us will we still be able to sue the crap out of everyone in sight?

The outrageous cost of medical malpractice.
The national health care route which is looking like strong possibility believe our government will have discontinued delivering babies due to curb those costs whether thats good or bad thing guess would depend on lawsuits if you.

Medical malpractice lawsuits account for less than 2% of the cost of health care, according to a 2004 study by the Congressional Budget Office.
Focusing on lawsuits hardly affects the high cost of health care. Nearly 30% of our health care costs are administrative costs, largely due to myriad health insurance company schemes that physicians and other health care providers have to deal with.
