That's definitely true. Although I wonder if anyone has done an analysis of where hospitals and physicians spend their money? Could reducing the costs due to malpractice be a potential solution?

There has been so much analysis of every step of the health care pipeline, and most of the meta-analyses I have read suggest that there is no silver bullet, only many, many, many things combined.
All nedical malpractice costs combined, insurance, actual payments, and legal combined, amount to 0.3% of the total cost of health care[0]. That's one-third of one percent. So its not nothing, but it's not the highest priority, either.
