Dr. Jordan Grummet (Doc G) explains that the healthcare system is burdened by defensive medicine, costing $40-50 billion annually. This practice, driven by fear of malpractice suits, leads to doctors ordering more tests and procedures than necessary, which ultimately increases costs for both the government and insurance companies, and thus for patients through taxes and premiums.
“And what people don't realize is how much this actually costs the system. When we spend 40 or 50 billion dollars in a year on defensive medicine, guess who pays for that?”
“Doctors charge more, hospitals charge more, and insurance premiums go up. It's all connected.”
“Defensive medicine isn't better healthcare.”
