I think you need to read the RAND study. The time frame, the number of people, its relation to premiums, the fact the 30% was out of 45%, the fact it was 4 years like 15 years ago and we should be looking at long term impact etc...

You can bash the guy at truecostofhealthcare but not sure how someone disputes the actual numbers he presents because they have a personal dislike for him.

A better argument would be to dispute the #'s. Again, its hard to find independent studies on hot topic issues because people have an agenda on hot topic issues (See Fracking as #1 example) but the few I have found that seem independent seem to all conclude the same thing.

I'd gladly look at facts that can stand a little scrutiny that says otherwise. Until then the facts seem to support the position malpractice changes at the federal level would do little to curve health care costs in any material way.

It'd be great if malpractice was such a large driver, easier fix for our system which would be great, I am sorely unconvinced of this based on the data I've seen, sorry. If I see some solid data going the other way I'll change my view, I don't really have a position based on any personal experience, just trying to see the data and analyze it, so far that's how it comes out.
