Medical Malpractice awards as a percentage of the overall healthcare dollar are a very small percentage.

Defensive medicine dollars are more of a problem (IMO) than malpractice awards, but the two are so closely merged, they need to be counted as a single item.

I’m guessing that the two together add up to a substantial amount.

I don’t know how much, and my perception is purely anecdotal. Anybody have something to shoot that perception down?
