Patients for Fair Compensation Study Finds $2.6 Trillion in Healthcare Savings with New Medical Liability System

Medicaid, Medicare Expenses Would Decrease $1 Trillion

Replacing the American medical liability system with a no-fault, Patients' Compensation System would create at least $2.6 trillion in savings over 10 years, according to a new study released today by the German economics firm BioScience Valuation.

The actuarial study, commissioned for Patients for Fair Compensation, found that doctors would scale back the practice of defensive medicine if the medical tort system were replaced with one that is legally patterned after workers' compensation.
