Nothing like coming back from vacation and seeing more inflammatory articles on the malpractice controversy. Medrants summarizes some of the more recent articles.
Update:
After catching up on some weekend reading, our friend Medpundit has also chimed in on the recent ignorance by the NY Times and the esteemed Mr. Herbert.

I’m curious about the effect of California on the data presented.
California is somewhat unique in having:
(a) the largest state in economy size and population
(b) malpractice caps and,
(C) a strong insurance commissioner who requires evidence from companies for rate hikes.
I’d be curious if when you remove California from the equation if rate caps look as good.
